Wash, brush, wash, brush... I'm a bad groomer?

"Not well groomed"



That's what our judge said to me in Tampere Int few weeks back. The dog that was so badly groomed is my shih tzu Hugo.

I cut Hugo's hair down a little bit over a year ago when he's eye popped out after a dog attacked on him. Our vet had to cut some of hes face hair of so they could work with the eye. When Hugo came back home I decided that he's going to need lots of time to recover so I cut all his hair off.




Hugo has enhanced himself over a year now, so in January I tough that its Hugo's time to start his show career again. Yes, he's coat is not so long that it would touch the ground, but it doesn't need much more to be full length.

Judge didn't like Hugo at all that day (2 month's earlier same judge told me that Hugo is a super dog , and she cave him Exc and made him to win his class ),
"not enough masculine. Too short in body. Undershort bite with twisted to right. Not enough deep stop. Too small eyes. Good neck. Not enough good chest, too prominent breast bone. Not enough long coat for the age. Not well groomed."Open G




I had also my chinese with me in Tampere. Austin competed in Open class for very first time and he got super critique from our judge, mr. Juha Kares:
"Maskuliininen, täynnä energiaa oleva näyttävä uros. Maskuliininen, aavistuksen vahva pää. Hyvä kaula. Suora, lyhyt olkavarsi ja hieman ulkonevat kyynärpäät. Vahva runko. Näyttävä turkki. Hyvä häntä. Näyttävät sivuliikkeet, hieman leveät edestä. "
"Masculine, showy male that is full of energy. Masculine, (slightly) strong head, good neck. Straight, short upper arm and little protruding elbows.  Strong body. Showy coat. Good tail. Showy in side movement, little too wide in front."

Open Exc4, CQ. 



I have much grooming things to learn, and I'm learning all the time.
But I don't think that I'm a bad groomer. Of course someone else could be disagree with me but that's his/hers opinion.
Let's groome our furry dogs and be happy that is summer time.
