Grooming pet-peeves

[IRescue452]

Orangutango:
"- overly fuzzy feet
- overly long, fuzzy fur on ears
- long, messy leg featherings"

Just described your favorite breed: toller. I am constantly shaping Autumn's featherings and feet for the same reasons. Love the dog, could do with a more clean cut coat. I hate little dogs that get a pet cut but the tail is left long and ratty. My grandma's two little mixes have tails that get all matted and gross because they are never cipped.

Yes, I know that but I really enjoy grooming so it doesn't matter to me Most dogs (if not all) with long coats get everythig I described as not liking anyway, so even if I didn't like Tollers I'd still be stuck with it seeing as I seem to be attracted to the long coated breeds...lol

I hate mats, and really really long nails. Especially if the owner claims the dog has back problems or something... and the nails are almost curled under.

On a personal level, and no offence to anyone that has their dogs like this, but I dislike corded poodles (it looks a mess!) and the lion clips on any dog. I just don't think it looks attractive.

Bear has really fuzzy feet and fuzzy ears and I'll be honest I think their cute, although I will admit to trimming the feet simply because if I don't, it just take 1 trip into the yard and he brings the yard back in with him.

I'm nervous hearing all this talk about fuzzy ears, Kaige has fuzzy ears/
I did buy a pair of thinning shears for Christmas, I used them on his rear already and it looks good. When I get the nerve I will try it it on his ears, hopefully I don't mess up too bad. lol

I'm really lucky to have dogs that are easy to groom! Short fur, don't mind their nails clipped, and they stay pretty clean most of the time (Marta side-steps mud) so I don't have to give them baths all the time (I do about every 3 weeks).
But, my pet peeve is stinky dogs. We were pet-sitting a dog a few months ago who was 13 and never had a bath in his life! Yuck. I mean, he was really nice but whenever I petted him I felt stinky. I didn't give him a bath either because I thought it would be too traumatic for an old guy like him (he has seizures when he's stressed) and I didn't want to end up getting bitten. I just cleaned really well when he left.
