Bridget got brushed today and there was lots and lots of fur. Not as much as for the adorable anonymous Scottie above, but still a lot. And there’s been plenty of dust-busting going on too.
Are your dogs shedding in a spectacular fashion this summer?
Impeccably groomed Rasmus
The Scottish Terrier News wouldn’t expect anything less of a European sophisticate like Rasmus. And congratulations to his photographer and companion, Lars, for getting all those great black dog shots.
It’s time for puffball Bridget to get a Scottie haircut. Last week someone asked if she was a Cairn.
We’re trying out a new groomer, which means anything’s possible. We could be pleasantly surprised or end up having a bad hair month or two. What can I say? Occasionally, I just throw caution to the wind and take risks with new hairdressers and groomers. I don’t subject my dog to anything I don’t do to myself.
Fingers crossed, everyone. We’ll post the “after” shot as soon as Bridget’s done.
Update: Here’s a quickie. Better angles and lighting later (I hope.) don’t be shy about leaving your comments. The eyebrows are a bit Schnauzerish, but overall not bad.
An "after" shot of Bridget. I will keep trying for a better view.
“Johnson began her career by giving haircuts to her Scottish terrier because no one in town would or could,” reports NBC in North Dakota.
You decide whether or not she’s been promoted.
Okay, so by now we’ve all heard about newborn babies being mixed up at the hospitals. But westies at the dog groomer’s? That’s a new one for me. And, all the more shocking is the fact that it happened in Scotland of all places.
STV reports on the curious case of the dogs in the grooming shop.
A Scottish dog owner is suing a pet groomer for “emotional distress” after a mix-up meant she took the wrong dog home and lived with it for a year.
Maureen Fyffe sent her West Highland terrier to Family Friend Grooming Parlour for a pooch makeover – on the same day that another dog of the same breed, age, sex, and markings was taken in.
The collars were removed before the identical dogs were washed and brushed before being handed back to their owners.
But Mrs Fyffe thought it was strange when Lucy came home from Dundee’s Family Friend Grooming Parlour last March and refused to drink her usual saucer of coffee.
It’s time to update our list of the best Scottish Terrier groomers the world over. Please add your groomer in the comments and Scottie News will update the list.
You can also leave the names of not-so-great groomers to spare other Scottie owners the experience.
