Hi there, thanks for your question! Hmm, all signs point to her not being a candidate for this type of service, but I can be wrong, esp if the genetics you have been told are inaccurate. It's a bit complicated when it comes to mixes, and you'll definitely want the opinion of a knowledgeable groomer before making your grooming plan. For typical Pomchis, grooming usually consists of: regular baths and maintenance (ears, nails), blow out and brush, and then little touch-ups if needed, like paws, feathers, back of the ears. Which is great news since, to answer your second question, hand stripping takes a long time (small dogs 1-1.5 hrs) and is quite a bit of work! So I hope that your Pomchi is really a Pomchi, and you can rest assured that her natural coat just needs the basics to keep it in optimal condition. Hope that helps and thanks again for your comment! 😍🐾

Thank you for your comment! True, little guy was "tight" but not super matted - but as far as rakes go (and I've upgraded to a better tool since this video, called Dematador), I only really use them for spot dematting or, like in the video, "opening" a coat. But I'll try to work on a more intensive dematting video - thanks for your input!

Hallo Jutta! So nice to hear from you and hear your updates on your lovely Rosalie and Jeannie! 😍 I completely understand your struggles with your younger baby, but fortunately, they all seem to learn in time (we hope, haha)! Sending my best to you all in return; and thank you so much for your support! 🙏🐾

Thanks for the kind feedback! 🥰

Oh nooo, just get those gloves on, use warm water, good lather, and patience - You've Got This! Good luck, it will be over soon! 😅

@GinasGrooming I did it! Think I was a bit rough to start with, as he walked off. (It was bad though, needed a scrubbing brush 🤣, but obviously didn't use one). Going to get my name on a waiting list for a groomer, he really needs his bum manageable. Thanks !

@@ghengis430 Thanks for the laugh; but seriously, I am truly proud of you! 😄 One less messy bum in the world is a better world (scientifically proven). Good luck in your grooming journey!

Great question!!! I typically use a very mild scented shampoo and finish with my favorite berry scented conditioner, which pleases most of my clientele (amzn.to/3ObCizi, amzn.to/40SPwbN). But there are always those that want to kick up the fragrance, and for that my best advice is to use a shampoo/conditioner from the same line. I've used the Espree Rainforest products as my "Fragrance" option for many years, and the scent is very pleasant: clean, a bit fruity, but very noticeable. (amzn.to/3Az1Vaj, amzn.to/3YOtrIR).And if you particularly like a very pleasant Baby Powder scent, the Zymox leave-in conditioner is an amazing way to get the pets smelling great, and by leaving it in, you're also giving their skin amazing benefits (amzn.to/4eG37GU). Honestly, I use and love all these products - hope you do too if you get a chance to try them! Thanks so much for your comment, and good luck on your grooming journey! 🐾😍

Yay, thank you so much! And me and my clipper are still together, going strong, lol! Really appreciate your positive feedback; it means the world! 🙏🐾

Hi there, thank you so much for your comment! And thank you for taking such good care of your pet! Yes, nails can be stressful, but start by cutting just a little bit at a time until you and your pet become more comfortable. Good luck and thanks for watching! 😍

Hi, aw, what a cute mix, your pup must be adorable! But yes, you've got some work on your hands, as you clearly know! If the tangles and matting are too much, your groomer can take him down shorter than you would probably like temporarily (read: shave), but then his hair will grow into a short puppy style that will be easier on all of you to maintain. Good luck; thanks so much for your comment! 😍

Yay, welcome back, and thanks for inspiring the video with your previous comment! 🙏 I'm so glad the video helped! Thanks so much for your feedback and pls let me know if u have any other questions on your grooming journey! 🐾😍

Thank you for your suggestion! 🙏 The Japanese Spitz is so beautiful! But they are also rare, so I will keep an eye out if one comes my way and will make sure to film the grooming. Fortunately, for all Spitz breeds, including Pomeranians, the grooming revolves mainly around thorough brushing and then just neatening the silhouette and around the paws, behind the ears, etc., knowing that a Spitz is natural coated and should not get a full body haircut. Hope that helps and thanks again for your lovely comment! 😍

Thank you so much! 🙏

Hi there, Silaf is one of my little babies and I think he is a mix of Havanese and Spaniel, which makes him a bit unique! Thanks so much for your kind comment! 🥰

Great comment, Teresa! Yes, no water should EVER get into their ears while bathing, but we still need to get the outside of the ears clean. Groomers gently pinch in front of the canal to block any water from getting in, and we direct the flow of water away from the canal. But absolutely, making sure no water gets in the ear is an important focus, for sure! I always tell people that dogs can walk in the rain without getting water in their ears and causing problems, so we just have to protect the canal at all times. This is such a great question, I put it on my list to record a video on the subject. Thanks so much! 🙏😊

Aw, me too! Our black standard turned 13 this year (you can see our Rosie all over the channel), but she is still happy and playful. We are so grateful. Thanks so much for your kind comment! 😍

Hi Steve! Well, there are many inexpensive grinders on the market that use a diamond coating on the bit, and they work really well. There are also the diamond bits you can buy for your dremel or other standard rotary tool that not only stay cooler, but *allegedly* do not catch hair! I worked a booth last Feb with this type of bit but didn't have a chance to really test it. Great subject, will look into it more. Thanks for your comment! 😊

Oh, and you are correct, the heat issue does not really come into play since the contact with the nail should not be for prolonged periods of time (and you are sanding down dead nail). Great point!

Hi there, thanks so much for bringing that up! Yes, I have had my eye on a diamond bit for the last year, but have yet to buy one and try for myself. I tested one out on some fake fur and it didn't catch at all, but I have been skeptical to try on a long coat. But if you're saying you've tested it and it really works, I will move the bit higher on my shopping list! Thanks so much for your input! 🐾

You are so welcome! 🙏🐾

Thanks so much! So, for working thru this build-up, I'm using a shampoo called Face Off: amzn.to/48uzSVZ. But for daily maintenance wiping, you can use a cloth with warm water or use wipes designed for the eyes or face: amzn.to/3UuN87i. Oh, and just to share, the client of the dog in the video changed his food to wet only, and he no longer has build-up! Hope that helps and good luck!

@@GinasGrooming Thank you so much for your advice, much appreciated.

Thank you so much, I'm glad you enjoyed it! 😄🐾

❤️🙏❤️

My pleasure! Glad it was helpful! 😄🐾

Hi there, great questions and congrats on your Sammie puppy! 🐾🙌 So, the Bio-Groom Deshedding combo is very safe and can be used every 3-4 weeks, no problem. Most deshedding products are designed to condition the coat so that the dead strands don't stick together and can be easily blown & brushed out. But if you are washing bi-weekly, I would use my go-to hypoallergenic shampoo that has a very high dilution rate (50 parts water to 1 part shampoo in a mixing bottle) because 1) you want to be able to shoot a watery shampoo mixture deep into the coat to make shampooing much faster and efficient, and 2) you will save a ton of money in the long run. Here's the gallon link to Envirogroom Gentle Clean shampoo: amzn.to/3NJGRkg. For conditioner, my favorite is the Envirogroom Berry Silk, also highly dilutable (32:1), but I just take handfuls and work it through the coat directly. Here's the 17oz size as you won't need as much: amzn.to/3UqWKzG. And in case you need a mixing bottle, this will save you a lot of time, esp when working with a thick arctic coat: amzn.to/4f1d3LY. Hope this helps and best of luck! 😍

You are so welcome, Natalie! 🐾🥰

Hi Kelly! It's so funny, I think people are mixed 50/50, so I'm glad I had a chance to show both. And yes, it all depends on the coat, your lifestyle, your pet's disposition, etc, and fortunately, a Coton looks adorable in a puppy cut! Thanks so much for your comment! 😍

Hi there, thanks for your comment! The nerves and blood vessels are in each nail, and I know it's really hard to tell on black nails. I keep the image of the anatomy of the nail in my head as I clip, knowing that if there is a severe curve, the vein will not curve around, so you are safe to cut after the curve. For grinding, the same image of the anatomy applies. Just know that clipping or griding a little bit is better than not doing anything at all - and if you're really stuck, I would find a pro to cut all the nails down, and then all you need to do is maintain them once a week with a little grinding action. Hope that helps; thanks for watching! 🥰

Aw, you are such a good person - and I'm sure your baby will be rehabilitated through your diligent love and care! ❤🐾 The good news is that the coat is pretty easy to care for - it's just those little face folds and making sure their skin is clean and healthy in addition to ear cleaning and checking the nails. Good luck with your new little Frenchie and thanks so much for your comment! 😍

Hi Christiane, you are 100% correct, hand stripping is the correct way to groom this breed, for sure! There are many reasons that a client may choose to have their pet clipped instead of stripped (the latter being what I recommend since I do hand stripping myself), such as: disposition, health issues, age, budget, tolerance to being handled, and more. Little Pippa had a few bad experiences before I started grooming her, thus the client (who used to show Wire Foxes, stripped, of course) chose to have her clipped. Clearly you know the repercussions, but for someone else reading the comment, clipping a wire coat will change the color, texture, and diminish the ability for the coat to protect the skin against the elements. So, yes, agreed, hand stripping is the correct way, but for dogs that cannot tolerate that service, we have no choice but to clip them so that the hair does not become matted and cause other problems. Thanks so much for your comment!

My pleasure, thanks 4 your comment! 🥰

Hi Macenzi! Honestly, with the right tools and maintenance, you can really minimize the shedding - but it will never be 100%! If u get it down to 80% less (totes possible), you'll still have some strays on your clothes, but a tape roller will keep that at bay. The breed is so amazing, if you love it, you can def manage the shedding! Hope that helps and good luck on your journey! 🐾

Hi Dolly, yay, I love that! And thanks for the suggestion about the feet - I'll work on getting more out there on the subject. Thanks so much for your comment, and good luck on your grooming journey! 🐾😊

I know, sometimes it's hard when the pup is just not having it. And it doesn't help if you're just learning - the dogs can feel when someone is unsure. Best advice is if your dog is really stressed, you'll need the help of a pro, either a good groomer or a vet tech. Good luck! 😊

Thanks so much, I am so glad it was helpful! 😄🐾

Yay, I'm glad you liked it! 🤩

Yay, thanks so much for your feedback, and congrats on your new rescue pup! 😍

Hi there! Groomers straighten really curly coats by using high velocity drying while brushing in different directions - plus, using a conditioner in the bath can help relax some coats. But as for a straightening product, I don't know of any, so sorry! Fortunately, using the right techniques when a coat is wet really allows us to get coats straight - at least for a few days. Here's a super old video where I fluff out my Poodle Rosie: ua-cam.com/video/E0_jtripvpQ/v-deo.htmlsi=emq5YPv4LfnPiJ92. Hope that helps, thanks so much for your comment! 😊

Hi there, thanks for your comment, but the video definitely has audio! Maybe the mute button was on? 🤷‍♀️ Anyway, I hope you can rewatch with audio if you need help with this subject! Thanks so much for watching. 🙏🐾

Thank you so much! 😄🐾

Yay, thank you, and congrats on working with your Westie baby! Last year, I discovered finger cots for working around sensitive areas, and now I'm obsessed! Although I use the Artero brand, I couldn't find them on Amazon, but using basic finger cots while plucking should help u out immensely: amzn.to/4haRfPi. Good luck and feel free to keep me posted on your progress! 🐾😊

Thank you so much for your comment! We released a paw trim video a long time ago, but we need to redo another one with better filming. Thanks for the suggestion! In the meantime, hope this helps: ua-cam.com/video/cNBdp4XuDfs/v-deo.html. 🐾😊

My pleasure, thanks for your kind comment! 😍

Thanks! 🤗

Hi Janet, yikes! Sounds like if there is any hope of repair, it would need to be done by a professional sharpener - especially since the tension has to be just right. Ugh, I'm sorry that happened. If you don't have a sharpener near you, many do them by mail, so def check on that! Good luck and thanks for your comment! 😊

Thank u so much, and glad the video helped! And although I do feature Cotons on the channel often, little Romeo is a white/cream Havanese - but super close! 😊 Thanks so much for your comment! 🐾

Greetings, nice to have you here from Nepal! Thanks for joining the channel! 🙏

Hello! Our channel has many face trim videos (we just released a Shih Tzu face trim video 2 weeks ago ua-cam.com/video/aotjOXNhNo4/v-deo.html), but let us know if you are looking for something specific. Thanks so much for watching! 😊

Hi there! Dino comes to see me every 3 to 4 weeks, and his family brushes him about 1ce a week in between. Hope that helps, and thanks 4 watching! 🐾

Hi, sorry, this one of our 1st vids and we were just learning! I'll make sure to work on a better Poodle face video; thanks for the feedback!

@@GinasGrooming No problem. I love your channel. You're instructions are great. I'm just afraid to shave around my spoo's eyes. I'm not sure exactly how to do that. I'll stay tuned for a future video on face shaving.

Ok, thank you, I am on it! 👍🐾 My Rosie spoo needs a face shave soon, so bear with me a few weeks and I think I can get something out for you! Great subject, thanks for the input!!!

Yay, thanks so much for your feedback! 😍

Yay, so glad to hear it! Thanks for watching! 😍
