Today I met a new little friend in my grooming shop. Sammy is a Silkie/Yorkie X with only one eye. He is quite a nervous little guy but he settled down nicely as the groom progressed. I used a #10 blade on his body, #15 on his legs and scizzored and blended to give him a short face to go along with his summer do. I'm not sure is this was what was wanted...the instructions were for short...which as we all know means different things to different folks. He has very sensitive skin so I was careful not to back brush too vigorously...I used the reversed brush technique so the pins of my slicker would have a softer feel against his skin. I hope to see him again but...alas...they are seasonal folks here for the summer at the cabin.
