*Grooming pictures*

Since I got my new Canon camera I haven't been using my old Kodak one so I thought I'd leave it at work to take pics of dogs I've groomed. It's always fun to take dog pics. :) I thought you guys might like to see them...if you like them I'll continue to post more. It seems cockers, poodles, goldens, shih tzus, and poms are the popular dogs of the past couple of weeks so there's quite a few pics of them but there's other dogs too. The ones with two pics are before and after and the others are just after shots...I don't work at a show grooming salon, these are pet clips (according to customer request) only. I'll put the names of dogs I can remember names...I don't remember all of them. This isn't all the dogs that have been groomed, just ones I felt like taking pics of (or remembered to, I kept forgetting I had the camera).

lovely job on all of them!!!

i'm going to grooming school hopefully in a few months :D

that's great. you can make up some sort of a portfolio too. :)

Wow! Great job!

that poor nibbles was in bad shape..wow..
You do a great job.I wouldnt want to try all that.. :D

Great pics! :) Did you groom all of these dogs? How many dogs does your shop get in a day?

I love the before & after pics!! :D Cute pups!

Oh! i loved seeing all the different dogs and different tastes in hair style the owners wanted.

the Goldens look weird shaved though. :eek: :D

and that one fancy clip you did on that little Poodle looks pretty dang good to me!

please do post more!!!

wow thye looked really good after you fixed em up i really liked the cocker mix after,the shaved golden(he loooked really good),the shit-zu poochie(hes REALLY white),and that poor pomoranian nibbles, and of course your guys ;)
good job on them all

LOL! Loved all the dog-transformatins! What a fun job!

Amy, what a great job you've done on all of them! Nibbles really looks awesome, boy was he/she a mess :eek:

WOW! You do a great job, and most of the dogs look so calm and relaxed.

Oh more more!! I loved looking at them all, very good job indeed! The Golden, Bear, looks just like a bear when he's shaved!!

aww good job!! after you go you hands on those dogs they look beutiful! you are so talented

Awsome! I hope to get a job at one of the local groomers' shops this summer. How long did it take you/ what did you have to do before they let you actually groom customers' dogs?
Sorry but seeing some of those dogs in pet/puppy clips made me sad. I realize some people request them though

Ohhhh, I love seeing all the different dogs and their haircuts. Thanks for sharing them with us, Amy. I hope that you will post more.

Awww pommies!!!!! I would never ever ever get Tink shaved!!!!! NEVER!!!! But Maybe a trim...:) Nice Job what adorable doggies!

whats wrong with puppy clips??

anyways, loved the pictures!! i just got a cocker puppy, so the cockers you cut gave me ideas! thanks for posting them :)

Amy these are all excellent! You are truly an artist in every sense of the word - your drawings, your terrific photography and now we get to see it in your grooming. I know how much work it is to groom two dogs every 4 weeks. I can't imagine doing several dogs in one day! Of course you are a lot younger than I am!! LOL!

Thanks everyone :)

Yes these are all dogs that I personally have groomed. It varies a lot...today there were 3 lol......some days there are 20...we have 3 groomers and 3 bathers.

I worked as a bather for about 2 years then they made the grooming manager a trainer and she trained me as a groomer, which I've been doing for about a year.

Why does it make you sad? I personally do not like to see double coated dogs (like goldens, poms, huskies, etc.) shaved because it damages their coat...but shih tzus, cockers, poodles, etc. very few people (at least that I have seen) are capable of taking the time to keep them brushed out, so if they aren't going to brush them they are tons better off clipped short then full of matts IMO.

yes i agree. i have a cocker and toy poodle. sammy (cocker) hasnt had his first haircut yet, but missy, (my old cocker) we shaved her sometimes. and my poodle molli, we keep her fur pretty short. (but we dont shave it)

its much more kind to give them a pet clip if they are not show pets, and dont have the time to keep them groomed. and a little less hair cuts.

Wow! :eek: You do a great job! Those dogs look as good as new ;)

Great pictures!! I love the little lion-cut pom!

I love the before and after pictures, especially Nibbles.
You're obviously a very good groomer, Amy!

W-O-W! The dogs look absolutely awesome, Amy! you did a fantastic job! ;)

I personally like the pet/puppy clip better on most dogs. I think it looks cleaner, cuter, and of course a lot easier to manage.

Great job on all of them! So... does Ki get a bath? ;)

Great job on them all!
I LOVE Sofie!!! (the GSD) Oh she is beautiful!!!
Nibbles is a cutie pie! (in the "after" picture ;) )
