The Puppy Cut
*Bath,
dry and comb out dog.
*Using a #1 or #2 blade
attachment comb, clip the entire coat,
starting at the base of the skull, the base of
the ears, and under
the jaw line (thus omitting the head, face,
beard, tail, feet and
ears).
*Fluff with the a medium metal comb and scissor all
ends
evenly.
*Comb forward the front 1/2 inch of hair on the head
over
the eyes
and scissor evenly across the eyes.
Scissor the
head to blend into
this line and continue to blend into the ears
and the
side of the
face .. (Note: The head, face, and beard should
be
scissored
according to coat length on the body.)
*Comb face and beard downward and scissor around from
the
base
of each ear across the beard, thus forming a
round
"U" shape.
*Blend the sides of the face into the beard and around
the U
shape.
*Comb through with the metal comb and scissor evenly
all
loose ends.
*Finish the dog by scissoring the feet.
