I love your email....LOL......as a professional groomer, I totally
sympathize with your observations.
A couple of years ago I was judging in Hawaii, and after the show we did an
educational program in.....wait for it....grooming!! One of the club
members offered the used of their table, another offered a dog, one that had
not been entered that day and had not been groomed. I was offered all kinds
of grooming tools and products, and to their surprise, all I wanted was a
spray bottle with clean water, and a greyhound comb. I groomed half the
dog, accentuating angles, highlighting the good and covering the unflattering
areas. You can ask any of those`attending, they couldn't believe their
eyes!
I love, love, love grooming products. Just attended Groom Expo at Hershey,
PA, and spent a ton of money on grooming products and supplies. But hardly
use much else on my GSD's besides a good clarifying shampoo, a spray
bottle with clean water, a brush and a comb.
Keep posting!

Love me, love my dogs.

HI, My name is Angela Scott--and I have been involved in my AKC-GSDCA
adventure for about 18 months...I have a Kridlers bitch--Addie and a Peakes
Brook male (CH Woodside X CH Darby Dan) Gavin...I live in Alabama but
originally came from Eastern side of Washington state. I guess I got my
grooming
chops then from grooming my black Angus cattle which they have been doing
since I was doing it at 15 years oldto about 20 when I sold my cattle (in
1975!!) the only change now is they dont use black spray paint (krylon flat
black worked well) and also they use something else for the crest on the
back tail..we even used the black spray paint in ratting the tail switch into
a nice round ball....my ranch name was Triple AAA Angus....lol...but I only
had a couple 3-4 show cattle...mostly bulls after getting my heifer...who
cost me my whole year of working at the tune of $950 bucks...Mr Stewart
Anderson of the Black Angus Restaurants even offered to buy my bull calf who
was 4 months old
and not a Day...he got reserve Grand Champion behind the 2 year old
bull...in the OPEN class with the big shots....then we weighed him and he was
500
pounds and 4 mo.... MAking this dog related--I didnt realize we have to or
HAD to groom the shepherds like that until my first AB show last weekend
with Addie...WOW alot of hair product being used...and you can't kid a kidder
about scissoring a dog...used to do that with my Persians in CFA and the
Angus cattle as a kid....but I being ignorant and eager to learn asked...how
they did that...they denied it was cut in any way...haha...okay...so today
I went out and bought about half the product I think I might need to groom
Addie for the next show...pulled out the grooming products I thought I
didnt need out of my Persian box...and then ordered a few more...to fill my
arsenol...so poor Addie and soon Gavin will have to get their hair styled and
messed with until it looks as good as what I saw last weekend...I thought
I had a big en
ough tack box for my 2 dogs...but maybe I need to get one the size of my
cattle box....lol...good thing I have my Metro blaster and Oster table dryer
from showing the fluff balls in CFA!! Oh, I forgot to thank you all for
letting me join this list...I love the feel here...Pat Robinson has been
such a warm and friendly person...and of course the breeders of my 2
dogs...thank you for such a nice start!! Angela Scott
