All 87 Breed Dog Grooming for the beginner,
By A Customer
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Compact 87-Breed Dog Grooming (Hardcover)
Not what I'd expected. It does a good job as far as bathing and grooming some dogs. Too general for dogs that need actual clipping and cutting. Average of 2 pages per dog. This book was written for Oster brand clipper users. It suggests what size Oster clippers to use for each dog. Here are a list of all the dogs in case you are still interested. Affenpinscher; Afghan Hound; Airedale Terrier; Akita; Alaskan Malamute; Australian Terrier; Basset Hound; Beagle; Bearded Collie; Bedlington Terrier; Border Terrier; Borzoi; Boston Terrier; Bouvier des Flandres; Boxer; Brittany Spaniel; Bulldog; Cardigan Welsh Corgi; Chesapeake Bay Retriever; Chihuahua(long coat); Chihuahua(smooth coat); Chow Chow; Cocker Spaniel(American); Cocker Spaniel(English); Collie(rough coat); Collie(smooth coat); Dachshund(long coat); Dachshund(smooth coat); Dachshund(wire coat); Dalmatian; Doberman Pinscher; English Setter; English Springer Spaniel; Flat-coated Retriever; Fox Terrier(smooth); Fox Terrier(wire); French Bulldog; German Shepherd Dog; German Shorthaired Pointer; German Wirehaired Pointer; Golden Retriever; Great Dane; Greyhound; Irish Setter; Italian Greyhound; Keeshond; Kerry Blue Terrier; Labrador Retriever; Lhasa Apso; Minature Schnauzer; Newfoundland; Norwegian Elkhound; Old English Sheepdog; Pekingese; Pembroke Welsh Corgi; Pointer; Pomeranian; Poodles(dutch,kennel, lamb, puppy, royal, summer, town & country clips); Pug; Rottweiler; Samoyed; Scottish Terrier; Sealyham Terrier; Shetland Sheepdog; Shih Tzu; Siberian Husky; Silky Terrier; Skye Terrier; Staffordshire Bull; Standard Schnauzer; Vizsla; Weimaraner; Welsh Terrier; West Highland White Terrier; and Yorkshire Terrier.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent Reference and Money Saver,
By John W. Hopkins (North Augusta, SC United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Compact 87-Breed Dog Grooming (Hardcover)
This book has been absolutely wonderful. We have two dogs and we were spending $60.00 plus per month on dog grooming. We bought this book to see if it would help us groom our dogs ourselves. We were not disappointed. My husband groomed both of our dogs following the instructions for the cute teddy bear clip. Just today in the pet store, another customer asked my husband where he had the dogs groomed because they were groomed so nicely and looked so cute. No this book doesn't have every breed in and it doesn't claim to have them all. However, it does have most breeds and the instructions are simple and easy to follow. I would recommend this book to anyone considering home grooming. This book has paid for itself!

Attention Bichon Frise owners,
By Mary Lou Roszhart (Springfield, IL USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Compact 87-Breed Dog Grooming (Hardcover)
I found this book a good general work with excellent diagrams and instructions, but NOT ALL BREEDS are covered, so beware. I wanted a guide to grooming my bichon, and they are not included!
