Hold the tail down to the hock and place your thumb at the point where the end of the tail meets the hock to mark the length you will trim the tail to match. Note: in the photo, an imaginary line drawn from my thumb will just meet the top of the dogs hock.</font></font> <br/><font face="Verdana,Ariel,Helvetica,Sans-Serif"><font size="+1">This will be the final length of the tail.</font></font> <br/> <br/><p><font face="Verdana,Ariel,Helvetica,San-Serif"><font size="+1">Using the thinning shears, start trimming just past that point, giving yourself some leeway, especially if you are a beginner.<img alt="" src="http://morningsagegoldens.freeservers.com/Tail_fig2.jpg" align="textTop" style="CURSOR: pointer; ZOOM: 80%;"/></font></font> <br/> <br/> <br/></p><p><img alt="" src="http://morningsagegoldens.freeservers.com/Tail_fig4.jpg" align="right" style="CURSOR: pointer; ZOOM: 80%;"/><font face="Verdana,Ariel,Helvetica,Sans-Serif"><font size="+1">Lift the tail and begin thinning, rounding the length of the tail feathering slightly as you go toward the base. The dog in the illustration had his tail trimmed not that many weeks prior to the photo, so you need to look closely to see that I am trimming about 1" of feathering off. On the majority of dogs, especially if having never had their tails trimmed before, you will have quite a ragged edge of sometimes quite lengthy feathering, often much longer at the tip, and also very long at the point in this photo that my thinning shear is just beginning to come to. I make the initial cut of length this way, then come back, moving side to side across the tail breadth, making light and fleeting cuts to blend up the sides of the tail, so blunt cuts are not glaring at you. More extreme length of the feathering at the tails' base, should be trimmed a little also, this particular dog does not have an abundance of tail feathering or coat at this time.</font></font> <br/></p><p><font face="Verdana,Ariel,Helvetica,Sans-Serif"><font size="+1">The final two photos below, show the finished tail. I also do some rounding and blending very carefully at the very tip of the tail, so that when the tail is hanging naturally down, it doesn't look like someone cut it straight off with a blunt knife. </font></font> <br/></p><p><img alt="" src="http://morningsagegoldens.freeservers.com/Tail_fig5.jpg" style="CURSOR: pointer;"/> <img alt="" src="http://morningsagegoldens.freeservers.com/Tail_fig6.jpg" align="absBottom" style="CURSOR: pointer;"/> <br/> <br/></p></td></tr></tbody></table></center><p> </p><center><b><font face="Verdana"><font size="+2">SHOULDERS ETC.</font></font></b></center><center><table width="75%"><tbody><tr><td><img alt="" src="http://morningsagegoldens.freeservers.com/GRM9Sh.jpg" align="left" style="CURSOR: pointer;"/> <font face="Verdana,Ariel,Helvetica,Sans-Serif"><font size="+1">The thinning shears are also used, inserting the blade underneath the coat and "into" or "with" the direction of coat growth as in the red lines shown on the photo. A <u>small </u>amount of trimming is done under the ear on the neck area and under the dogs chin where the two red lines are above.</font></font> <br/><font face="Verdana,Ariel,Helvetica,Sans-Serif"><font size="+1">Following the line of the shoulder, if a heavy "shelf" exists as shown in photo, <u>careful thinning of undercoat</u> in the direction shown by the arrows, and combing out, will blend the coat in and reduce the heavy or "over-loaded" look to shoulders and neck. Groom over a period of several days</font></font> <br/><font face="Verdana,Ariel,Helvetica,Sans-Serif"><font size="+1">and "Stop, look, assess" as we did when doing the ears.</font></font> <br/> <br/><p><font face="Verdana,Ariel,Helvetica,Sans-Serif"><font size="+1">On some dogs, similar thinning at the base of neck at the withers is also necessary.</font></font> <br/><font face="Verdana"><font size="+1"><b>Note</b>: topcoat is NOT removed in any of these area's, we are just thinning undercoat to remove some bulk.</font></font> <br/><font face="Verdana"><font size="+1">Over zealous grooming in these areas, whether done with thinning shears, or a stripping knife will not preserve the natural look of the dog, nor will it enhance the dog or cover up lessor qualities. The dog should <u>not</u> have an "hourglass" look when looking straight at the front when done grooming. </font></font></p></td></tr></tbody></table></center></font></center></td></tr></tbody></table></p>
