🌟 Door number 24 of Dog Advent! Christmas Eve
We have … Bella! She is an Italian Spinone. I’ve groomed her for many years & Bellas such a character, she has to climb on the first table she sees, then i lift her over to the bath, she loves to roll in anything disgusting 🤢
Fun Fact of the Day - The Spinone has had many different names throughout its history. Its modern name comes from one of its former names, Bracco Spinoso, which is Italian for “prickly pointer.” The word “prickly” probably refers to the Spinone’s wiry coat.

Paddington is the bigger one and he is a Sproodle (springer spaniel X poodle) & little Win is a Poochon (poodle X bichon frisè) both dogs are very organised and come for a wash & set every 4 weeks then a full groom 4 weeks after that to keep on top of their ever growing locks 🤣
Fun Fact of the Day - Poodles were originally bred as all round hunting dogs, both on land and in the water. Their fur was cut off to make them faster swimmers and only leaving a ‘jacket’ for buoyancy & ‘poms’ to protect their joints … >> 🐩

🌟 Door number 18 of Dog Advent!

We have …. Tilly & Ted … both little superstars & model dogs to groom, these 2 where some of my first customers through the door when i first started at home 🥰 i look forward to my mornings with them!
Fun Fact of the Day - A ‘teddy cut’ is a style of dog groom people ask for. The length can vary but the general rule is the body should be shorter then the legs, the legs should be round, full and ‘tube’ like and the head just be round from all angles and fluffy! The name ‘teddy bear cut’ comes from the old fashioned bears that had very tubular arms and legs ( or so my lecturer said so 🤣 )

Fun fact of the day ... The Tibetan Terrier came from a region of Tibet known as the “Lost Valley,” so-named because an earthquake destroyed the major road that allowed access to the valley in the 14th century. The Tibetan Terrier has existed for at least 2,000 years.

We have … Scaramouche, Mia & Oscar! All such beautiful dogs, Mouchie & Mia are probably the hairiest labradors ever! They have very thick lovely coats, just so hairy 🤣 Oscar was also moulting but nowhere near the amount of them 2 🫣🤪
Fun fact of the day ... Labs are well known for ‘always being hungry’ it is thought that due to a genetic mutation in their genes, 1 in 4 labradors can carry the variation gene which can lead them to gain weight ... i think i was a lab in a past life 🤣🙈 🐽 I can confirm Mouchie & Mia where bribed by for their photos 🥰😂

We have … Monty & Carlo! 🥰 Monty is a Pekinese & Carlo is a Shihtzu. These boys are so adorable, Montys eyesight isn’t great anymore bless him so he gets a little unsure around his face & Carlo is only a spring chicken but he is so chilled & takes everything in his stride, both always a pleasure to groom!
Fun fact of the day ... I remember this from college 🤣 An old nickname used for Pekingese was ‘sleeve’ because emperors used to have them in there huge sleeves in the temples. I don’t know why I remember this and does make me smile imagining it! The boys mum also mentioned today pekes used to be alot smaller until their breed standard was changed as they was getting smaller and smaller.

We have …Ella & Ziggy 🐾 … They are a gorgeous pair of doodles! They love coming in for a spruce up, Ella is always up on the table first as she likes to hop up herself 🤣. Ziggy loves his cuddles, mainly in the bath when he’s all soggy!
Fun Fact of the Day - Dogs noses are upto 40x better then ours. Some dogs can detect even the smallest amount of substance in a huge area. Some breeds are better than others, while some are used to detect cancer in humans, others can track a scent for miles to find a missing person. I follow a dog on instagram called & she detects gluten in food!

We have… Enzo & Echo 🐾 … Any guesses what they are?? … Enzo is funny, he has so much to tell me in the bath, then when he’s on the drying table he has to lie down & rest, and doesn’t make a peep! Echo is a little Angel & just ignores him.. Decided what they are yet?
Fun Fact of the Day - Euraisers are a german breed that are very loyal, intelligent & even tempered. They go by other names like Eurasian Dog, Eurasian Spitz & Wolf-Chow!

🌟 Door number 6 of Dog Advent!
We have … Jasper! He is cavalier x bichon, always a pleasure and such a sweetheart. Thankyou so much for my Christmas card 😘
Fun fact of the day - 1/3 of households around the world have a dog or numerous dogs … i bet the other 2/3s have boring, cleaner houses than us 🤣

🌟 Door number 5 of Dog Advent!
We have … Willow, Jorjie, Pablo & Remy! … i adore this gang, i have had the pleasure of grooming them since they was all little pups. The 2 boys are still only young but have learnt from good role models! These guys love going out & about for walks & come in with bits, sticks & leaves stuck to them
sometimes 🤣 all such a pleasure! FYI Jorjie isn’t a fan of photos 🙈
Fun fact of the day - Apparently they don’t shed! (🤣) all dogs with hair shed. Some dogs have double coats and shed their under coat to regulate their temperature. Maltease do shed, but not as much as a double coat, their hair needs brushing/combing to remove dropped fur. I would class Maltease’s coat as high maintenance that needs alot of attention, consider it a part time job 🤣🤣… just ask Pablo & Remys mum 🙈

🌟 Door number 4 of Dog Advent!
We have … Gibson! He was such a character & always had something to tell you. Unfortunately a few weeks ago Gibson gained his wings, he was a fantastic dog & i had the pleasure of walking & grooming him for many years & was like one of my own. He was a rescue & his humans put in so much time training him & he grew into such a handsome boy. I miss him & his pal Arnie so much. Fly high Mr.Gibson-Wilson 🌈

🌟 Door number 3 of Dog Advent!
We have … Elira! The last of my trio, she’s originally from Slovakia 🇸🇰 but her breed originates from France 🇫🇷. She is a Beauceron which was bred to herd cattle. She literally runs rings round me & is always there, usually in the way!
Fun Fact of the Day - Beaucerons have double rear dewclaws as standard, this is extra traction on the ground when out working. The breed’s nicknames are ‘Berger de Beauce’ & ‘Bas Rouge’ which means ‘Red Socks’. Her nickname at home is Beaky as her nose is in absolutely everything. This breed isn’t very common, however Loyla from yesterday is actually 50% Beauceron & 50% German Shepherd.. so i obviously had to step in & help the breed & she fits the colour scheme 🖤🤎
