Summer is coming up and most dogs will need grooming to enjure hot weather.
When you go to the groomer,make sure that they won't make your dog too ugly.
I noticed that grooming is adverticed among vets to convince people that ''it is
cleaner'' though this is not true.
Reason to groom is not because hair is dirty ,some dogs as poodles and malteses,schnauzers don't shed but sometimes they need grooming to ''shape''
or because it gets too hot or skin problems. Still NO reason to give them all a
''poodle cut''
They groom all dogs ''the poodle cut''in Korea which is very ugly to other breeds,
like shaving the tale for a part or shaving around the mouth and shaving ears.
try to tell them only to groom the body because some parts of the body like ears,
tale and mouth, grow slower than the body part.
Many people in the street ask me what breeds my dogs are unless they come from the groomer and look like this, this is how they recognize a maltese.

My dog is very unhappy and won't walk with a haircut like that. His face show that he
rather cry than walking around. I am really not kidding. After that haircut which happen
twice,he won't walk and he won't play in the house either.
I groom the dogs by myself now, a clipper is only about 40.000won and after a few times trying you can really get handy.

Clipping them short but still make them comfi with the haircut.

groomers in korea claim that it is not possible to groom this length but they do sell the
7 or 9mm clipper and I am using it, I don't know why they only clip the 3 or 5mm and make
the dogs feel misserable.
