Extreme makover ala GS

[Janneke]

She's now half Briard, half Schnauzer :D Sort of Designer dog :D ;)

Kasko is a true basenji.. :) Very naughty..

[Buana]

Love the pictures!

I had the luck to trim a briard once… great.. I think you will spend as much time with the schnauzer as with a briard :D (a long time)

[Anette]

A long time it is… Auch my back. I normally use 4-5 houres - but this time it takes longer since she should have been stripped 2 moths ago. If i had used the clipper instead of handstripping her it would take 2 hours max.

She's so pretty…looks like she went to the beauty shop.

And he's such a scamp!

It's great to see them getting along so well. :)

That is a LOT of hair on the floor! I prefer the grooming of the basenji, ha!
And seeing the pup sleeping in your destroyed grooming box…priceless. They look like a good pair of playmates.

Kahlo looks wonderful!
And about Kasko, isn't he a Basenji? :D:D:D

[Basenjimamma]

Love the pictures and the comments..Kahlo is looking great and Kasko is simply adorable even in his mischief…

When I had a westie in Sweden (1976-1990) we would have him hand stripped as well, but once I got a westie here in the states, finding a good stripper here was very hard, every groomer here i houston (that I found and interviewed) would use a clipper and just make westies look horrible..hmmm ;( .
I never did learn how to do it on my own..
Now, with all short haired breeds in the house..grooming is easy..I love that.

[Anette]

Yeah i almost never see american schanuzers handstripped - Don't know why really. Lots of giants gets clipped here to, but Kahlo has to soft an curly coat so I dont want it to get softer and curlier.

Now I have used another hour or so on her - and still have loads left - im just SO glad i decided on basenji as "dog nr 2" I don't think I could handle one more breed that needs grooming.
