The thread is for Val and other to teach people how to stand their dog not to point out Livia’s hairy feet.

Yes I know they need trimming, no I wont do it till I been shown how to do it properly no point me buggering it up so close to the shows.

I think you need to groom her damp especially the feathers.
As long as her hock are straight down (look at the beardie drawings I sent you) they will be fine she’s only as baby her front looks tons better jesus those feet think I will pass on them, if you are going to show her you will have to learn how to do that for yourself not many groomers know showdogs.

i have never been able to get it right…i gave up trying, could never work out the feathers used to end up with one leg angle up the way and the other down the way 😀 wilma can do feet in seconds…ami’s got done while waiting to go in to the ring ;D

she grown all of a sudden, pretty lass….

not that i know that much but in the 2nd and 3rd pic her head is too high…they like a better line not a stretch…val can explain it better…

Wopuld the tail not look better if it was taut and stretched (not literally) out horizontal?

As for Tail, I am not 100% sure SP, all the show pics I have seen of Wilma’s lads their tail is set low and and natural :-\

i think the debate on tails as not been resolved yet 😀 some say natural hang with curve like a goldie some say on a line with no curve some judges seem to be accepting a high carriage…me…. :-X :-X :-X thinks they should be off 😉 😉 ;D

It is the same with weims, but if you look at those breeds with tails, they tend to hold them out straight………..

Mind you it depends on how long your arms and the tails are!
