Hold Up Tail And Scissor Into A Ball.

Rear leg scissored and blended into the body. Note the right photo shows the tail scissored into a ball.

You must hold the shears correctly to be able to scissor hair. This photo shows how to hold them. The only thing that moves is the thumb. Do NOT squeeze your hands together. The fingers only hold that blade still and to balance the shear. The shear should have loose blades. Your hand should not get so tired it cramps up while scissoring.

Toenails Are Polished On The Outside Of Each Nail, Not Both Sides. Hair Should Be Clipped Entirely Away From The Nail. If Polish Gets Into The Hair, It Pulls Every Time The Dog Moves It's Toes. This Is Painful And Will Cause The Dog To Chew It's Nails. Nails Cut Proplerly Do Not Touch The Floor When The Dog Stands.

This is Fluffy. She was 8 years old in these photos.

Fluffy's family traveled with her in the southern states in winter.
