Shih tzu groom (short pet trim) part 1
This is part 1 of three, in this video I will show you how to do what is called a “Clean face” on a Shih Tzu. I am not refering to bathing I am talking about clipper work. You either love this look or hate it but this is what the owner requests so this is what Mrs. China gets. Hope you enjoy thanks for watching.

Floyd is giving me the mean eye while I’m watching this thinking up ways to wiggle away when I get ready to groom his face. His main problem areas being the stomach and face, plus Floyd being a rescue dog, God only knows what was done to him before he came to me. I just try to be patient with him, reassure him and mostly love him. Thanks for the videos as I have learned a lot from your instructions. You have my highest admiration!

Thanks for your response… I saw your other video with regards to the clippers and blades. I am still new to this grooming stuff so please bear with me. What blade size would you recommend for his tummy area?

Hi there, please …
Hope this helps. Thanks!
Hi there, please watch my “Clippers and Blades” video for clipper recommendations. That video also explains the blades and lengths. As far as what size you should use, that is entirley up to you. It is a personal preference and you will just have to try a few different lengths and find out wich works best for you.

Hi… I would like to know what type of clippers are you using in the video… which ones do you recommend? Also for the winter time, how short do you think I should cut my shih tzu’s hair? What blade size should I use?

Have a nice day. and may God bless you.
I didn’t come on here for your opinion. I came on here to help honest hard working people who want to learn how to groom their own dog. I didn’t ask you to give your dog this hair cut nor did I ask for you to watch my video! Please don’t come back to any of my video’s or channels. I am here for people who wish to learn not be rude.

dont put yourself on here for all to see if you cant take criticism. Im allowed my opinion.
March 9th, 2010 at 1:25 am
That is fine. This …
That is fine. This dog was matted and the owner can’t afford to get her done often so for economic and comfort reasons we keep her dogs short. I really don’t think she looks horrid. That is after all how the dog looks with short hair, if you love the breed you should love it long or short. She is certainly not poor. I gave her a very nice hair cut and I think it was a bit rude of you to post what you did. Many owners like their Shih Tzu short. Thank you for your kindness… not so much!

Do you mean before or after I groomed her? I hope you mean before… because she looks much better after I’m done in part three or four…
