How to Maintain Your Lagotto in between Grooming Appointments
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️loveyou thanks
Organic and natural do not mean better.
I love her sage advice coming from years of experience! Constantly impressed with her level of care and expertise; I know that we're in great hands under Sonia's tutelage.
Thank you!!!
You're welcome!
Thank you for your nice video. Why don’t you pluck the ear of te lagotto? Ours used to have ear infections because of all the hair curling back into her ears.
We don't pluck or pull hair as many of the top groomer and veterinary resources are showing that plucking/pulling changes the pH of the ear canal due to histamines from the inflammation. This sets up the whole antibiotic/steroid cycle. We DO trim the ear hair so as to avoid the wild woolies with the hair curling back.
do you do probiotics and joint supplements?
Yes - Doc Roys, Probes, or Proplan. And NuVet Joint and NuVet Plus
I've seen different things on the web....should they get shaved at 4 months and then trimmed every 2-3 months?....and then keep up with it in between, like you show in the video?.thanks so much!
We rotate for life the following (after 2-3 puppy shave downs excluding the head which is just a typical trim): after the last puppy shave down, at 4 weeks we do a Sani trim bath/blowout. Then 4 week after that we do a full groom. This rotation keeps the coat the best conditioned.
Thanks for this demo of between grooms. (My lagotto gets a tidy/trim every 8 weeks). She sports the rustic look! This was good to see a relaxed and a happy dog. I have the equipment you use ... and will follow your method.
Glad it was helpful!
Hi Sonya, Great video hope to see more, this is Pio with TESSIE
Thank you, I will
Sonia, Just started to learn about you, your history, and information you offer. So far, two videos in, I am impressed with the depth of your experience, knowledge, and love for the Lagotto. Thank you. Looking forward to connecting with you soon.
Wow, thank you!
Aren't their eyes sensitive to light? Is it right to trim the hair covering their eyes?
no more than any other breed. If you trim the hair please do so in the breed standard fashion.
Great informative video. Thank you for all your work...
What brand is the shaver?
And is
What she says about the ear plucking is correct. Yes it is popular in the show circuit, but vets have proven that it does lead to an increase in infections while also causing unnecessary pain. My biggest issue with her techniques in this video is that she doesnt properly secure the dog which would allow for safer grooming. You can buy a device that connects to arm of your table so that you can attach the lead to the poll which doesnt allow your fog to do 360s and gives you better and safer control. You can see this being problem especially as she cuts the hair out of the ears. Instead of being able to safely secure the ear using her left hand she has to control the face because the dog is wiggling to much which could easily result in the ear falling into the scissors as she cuts.
6:45 *doesnt know you're actually supposed to pluck the hair from inside the ears so your dogs dont get severe ear infections* they literally do this for many breeds that have long hairs in the ear or in floppy eared dogs. shows shes not that reputable of a breeder and doesnt really know what shes talking about.
this comment literally shows that you havent done your research. Just because people do it often doesnt men it doesnt cause issues. The majority of show groom dogs have a lot of medical problems- ear infections being one of them.
What are your favorite scissors for hand scissoring a LR coat? Any favorites?
Finally. I've been looking for this. I appreciate your time!
I looked at your videos. Thank you for them. For the Royal Canin I wonder what kind of special breed bag you would recommend? They obviously do not have a Lagotto one. Should we just stick to the Medium adult? Thanks ;)
We no longer recommend RC after they were bought out. Their sell out left a vacuum in many regards but Proplan Performance has and will be our choice.
How often do you comb them? Do you also comb them whenever they get wet, play, etc?
I got my last dog from Westminster show dog. Adorable and outgoing .
GREAT VIDEO THANKS
I listened to at least four of these videos today and was mesmerized! Such practical information delivered in such a friendly and helpful way. I so hope we are able to have one of Sonia's Lagotto.
Wow you’re amazing
I have a10 month male old Lagotto. I have 2 questions: 1. Why must his first cut be down to the skin? I line his hair somewhat long. 2. How do they fair in cold weather with no hair? Thanks, Lagotto Karl
I am Sur your breeder can update you, but they need it in order to have the curl come in correctly at 16, 20, and 24 weeks of age. They seem very happy in cold weather.
When your owners take the puppy home, can they name the puppy themselves with a new name? Or do they need to stick with the one you already have them?
Luke Smith our clients are free to call their puppy whatever they like. We have the AKC registered name set and use a cute matching name for temporary ID purposes until the new owners give us a call name.
Thanks for this video. We are brand new owners of a Lagotto and live in Germany. With the language barrier, knowing that there is a U.S. based (online) training resource available is priceless!! I’ve also been studying your vids on the puppy cut-so appreciative!
Was about to call you with a question about digging and you answered it in the video. Thanks.
Cruel? If done properly it is NOT cruel. Ear hair should be at the very least be thinned out. Bacteria is already in there. Not all dogs that have ears plucked get ear infections. Your experience is not definitive.
its not just their experience. Its veterinary research. Ear hair is more often then not unnecessary. Ear hair- just like with humans- protect from bacteria and infections. And some breed are more proned to infections if their ear hairs are removed. Shaving down ear hairs using a 10blade is the healthier route as it keeps them from getting matter, but keeps the canal protected.
and no bacteria is not "already in there" not in the way you think. Yes all creatures have bacteria coming and going in our bodies. Which is why cleaning you dogs ears every 3-4 weeks is recommended. Having ear hair allows the majority of bacteria to be trapped at the tip of the hairs, with someone ear cleaning solutions and a cotton swab that bacteria is killed. With plucked ears- bacteria gets right down in the canal and do infect lead directly to ear infections and other health issues.
Notice I didn't say leave the hair. I am simply stating a very clinically true premise which is trim the hair; don't remove by plucking/pulling...plucking/pulling IS cruel because it HURTS. So even if all dogs don't get infections, why risk the possibility? Bacteria is in the canal...and on your finger tips and in your nose and on your feet and in your nails...but why risk infection through a painful and forceful opening of the hair follicle which is then inflamed with histamine which changes the pH of the canal leading to the infection cycle? My experience is definitive enough for me to say stop the practice on any dog I bred.
I fed my Springer ProPlan at the recommendation from my Vet. My Springer hunted Pheasant (I actually hunted the pheasant but without him those times would have been walks in the woods! lol) until he was 10-11 years old. NEVER had a health problem. He eventually passed at 14. I also never fed him anything else in the way of scraps etc.
i think the hair on legs is too short, looks like 4 spaghetti
jees, where goes all that hair?in the woods? :D
Sascha is the most mellow dog I've seen being groomed - what a great dog!
How is the head cut in the first puppy cut for my Lagotto--now 16 weeks old? Is his head shaved shaved?
Ciao Two by Two, thank you for sharing your experience and knowledge on LR feeding. I have noticed my Lagotto 7 month old pup eating other dog's poop from time time (talk about Snarfing =)). It becomes a nightmare because I've had to deworm him twice already. It makes dog parks and regular walks a real issue. Any thoughts or tips on stopping this?
Very blessed to have found you! Dixie is amazing!!!
Personal attacks and rude comments are unacceptable and will be removed. Personally attacking me is unacceptable.
To anyone watching this for grooming tips, it’s best to hold the skin taught and ALWAYS ALWAYS go with the grain. Going agains the grain is more dangerous and can more easily cause skin to be cut by the blade
Also the correct was to hold a pair of shears is to use your thumb and ring finger.
@@52ls it does not matter how you hold it if it works for you. i am more concerned with how so many groomers are so jabby. jeez. that puppy is really good to take all of that. i use my all of my fingers, to varying degrees, depending on where i am cutting. i use my pinky to drag a bit into fur so i can feel any bumps and such as i go
She explained in the video to always go with the grain.
Holy mackeral, that dog can imitate a rooster's call whoa!
Thank you for posting this! We just got our Lagotto puppy, and I have been thinking how to avoid over-vaccinating. Love your videos! What do you think about the vaccine for Lymes?
Do you have a video of 1st puppy cut or can you recommend one? We have a 4.5 month old female roan who needs her first cut and I'd like to show the groomer a video so she doesn't end up looking like a poodle!
Yes, I would like to see the first puppy cut and some information about which blade to use thanks.
Sure corn and rice better maybe feel sorry for 2 million dog die from purina every year so tell fda to investigate that
Do you have some stats on that?
Thanks for the run through. It would be helpful if you can demonstrate the cutting/trimming of nails next time.
There are so many other UA-cam videos that demonstrate this, I was planning more Lagotto pertinent content. Didn't want to reinvent the wheel. But we can sure oblige!!!
Thank you ! Im so scared of cutting her but when i see how “ un careful “ you are hehe i get a bit braver!
Oh dear...I hope I don't look 'un-careful'...it is very hard to cut them unless they are overweight and have lots of folds. I have never cut one of my Lagotto.
It's been 2 months since this video, I'm waiting for the adult cut that you promise in the end of this video ;)
Hi! Busy farm life! We have the video done and need to load it after we edit! Thanks for waiting patiently!
@@twobytwokennelsanddogcare8402 you literally need to do your research on plucking hair from a dogs ears, it's so they dont get severe ear infections later in life. You try to talk about things like "I know what's best" when you literally bashed people for doing something they're supposed to for the health of the animal. if the vast majority of veterinarians recommend it and you're still saying it's bad, maybe you shouldnt have dogs if you're going directly against what a vet, who knows, for what's good for the animal
@@apollograyling-hastur3995 have you done the research ? just because a vet says we should, does it make it right? its called research, not just doing what others say we should do,
