Guinea Fowl Posted July 27, 2012 Report Share Posted July 27, 2012 Need some advice on cutting the hair on my English Springer Spaniel, her hair is getting a bit long and she gets really hot. How do you guys go about grooming your spaniels, something tells me if I get the clippers out it will end up in a number 4 all over, haha so will prefer to take her to a professional. Do you get a specific field cut for them, dont want to end up with a gay dog and a pink bow. I am in the North West so any recommendations will be great, also whats a reasonable price for such a cut. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiLisCer Posted July 27, 2012 Report Share Posted July 27, 2012 DON'T DO IT! do not get them cut with a clippers! - take the dead hair out of the coat with a pin comb and a marrigold rubber glove!! Trim around the ears and feathers with a scissors. If you clip them - they will turn in to a ball of wool, which looks awful and offers them little or no protection against the weather.

rimfire4969 Posted July 27, 2012 Report Share Posted July 27, 2012 (edited) My springer get a cut for the summer, she goes to a lady who understands she is a working dog not a show dog, so does not leave things like feathers whatever they are. She is not shaved just some of the long stuff cut and trimmed around the ears and feet with no ill effects. Costs about £20.00 Edited July 27, 2012 by rimfire4969 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
