Afghan Hound

This is my beauty Dangdang, I cut it once a year, so the current length is a year-long length. It is estimated that if I hadn't cut it every year, it would be like the Polly in the picture. land.

These are two pairs of scissors for cutting people's hair. Of course, it is better to use scissors specially for pets, but I personally consider the price of only cutting once a year and special scissors. I bought this kind of scissors for cutting people's hair. The price is not expensive, only 30 yuan for two, and it is very easy to use. In fact, if your dog is small and you want to trim the dog yourself, you can use other scissors, as long as you pay attention to the round head.

I keep the dreadlocks on Dangdang's tail every year, and only trim it properly, which is the only characteristic of the Poli from head to toe after he is sheared. So I tie the hair on its tail that is not going to be cut with a rubber band. If you want to leave a bunch of hair somewhere or don't want to cut it, it is best to use a rubber band or clip to separate these hairs first.

The hair on the ears of the long-haired dog will grow very long, and the ears are also very thick, do not cut it first, clip it on the top of the head, trim the hair under the ears first, and then put the ears on Trim down so that the shape of the ears matches the shape of the entire face.

After clipping the ears on the top of the head, it is much easier to cut the long hair on the face. Trim the hair on the sides of the mouth to your liking. I usually don't cut the face of dogs. It is very ruthless, and it keeps the sides of its mouth as oblong as possible, which I think is more cute. As for how to cut your dog, it's up to you.

This is the dog's small face with one side trimmed. You can see that the fur on the left is 5-6 cm shorter than the right, and then trim the right side with the left as the standard.

When trimming the other side of the face, the trimmed side is the standard, and the two sides should be symmetrical to look good. In addition, you can also cut off the saliva-stained hair around the mouth, so that the dog's small face looks particularly clean and neat.

When trimming under the neck, under the belly, and around the eyes, it is safer to have someone help to immobilize the dog, because if the dog is trimming these places, it may endanger its life. Of course, this is not absolute, my dog is super good, and I can handle it all by myself. It's just that I need to introduce the safest way to everyone, so I suggest you act when you have someone to help you.

This step looks a bit like cutting people's hair. Use one hand to clamp the hair on the top of the head, and try to cut it as neatly as possible. I am going to cut its head into a circle, so I need to cut it with one hand.

The length of the fur on the sides of the lower mouth is trimmed to match.

Longhaired dogs also usually have a lot of hair on the inside of their ears, and trimming the inside of the ears is also important. But be careful not to injure the dog when cutting. I usually insert the scissors between the hair and the ears first, cut thin layers, cut them short first, and then trim them with shears. Although the cut may not be smooth, it will definitely not hurt the ear.

Be careful when trimming the outside of the dog's ears. After confirming the thickness of the ears, use the scissors. Cut less at a time and cut more times to make the hair layer on the outside of the ears smoother.

This step is the easiest to cut the dog's ear. You can pinch the dog's ear with your left hand, so that you can clearly feel where the edge of its ear is, and then leave one to two centimeters. Cut the length of the scissors, and cut the ears round, very cute.

After the head has been trimmed, it is necessary to align and trim the head as a whole, pull it with your hands, and stroke it again and again to let the curvy hairs become natural, and then see which hairs It is relatively long, and then trimmed, the small round head is OK.

I want to leave a little longer fur on the dog's ankles, so that the dog's legs don't look too thin, so I need to trim the feet. First hold the long hair left on it upwards, exposing the nails and the hairs closest to the soles of the feet, align with the edge of the nails, and cut the part closest to the ground short, so that when you go out, your feet will not carry too much The soil is back.

After cutting the bottom layer of the ankle, put down the long hair above and trim it to the length you like. You can control the length of the trim so that the hair outside the ankle is as similar as possible. A small round hoof.

See if the little foot on the right is much more agile than the one on the left.

In my experience, the length that allows your dog's nails to show is the easiest length to clean.

The hair on the bottom of the dog's feet also needs to be cut, especially the hair between the toes of the long-haired dog is also very large. But be careful not to cut the meat and be very careful.

This is the trimmed dog's paw, clean it.

You can use a pet-specific electric clipper to remove the hair under the dog's belly, which is safer than clipping with scissors and the clipper is cleaner. But be careful when using it, don't pull the dog's belly, because I was too impatient, I pushed a lot of hair with the clipper at once, and the dog's belly was red, and the dog also went straight to me. protest. If you don't have clippers, it's perfectly fine to carefully trim the underbelly hair with scissors.

My dog is a girl, so the most important part for me to trim is at the back of the body. If your dog is a boy, it is under the belly. If your dog is good at you You can use a fader to push the hair on the small JJ clean, of course, you can also use scissors to cut it. It's just that no matter whether your dog is a boy or a girl, you must be very careful when trimming here, so as not to hurt the lifeblood of others. Also trim the hair on the anus.

In this way, the work of shearing the dog by yourself is basically completed. Use a needle comb to comb the dog's hair to see where the shearing is uneven, and then repair it. It's ok!

Look at the fur we cut. It's a big spread. Dangdang usually takes them around. Too much), and it's so hot, how much fur does your dog have, cut it.
