2.0 out of 5 stars
Not at all what I was expecting,

This review is from: The Mutt Styling Guide (Spiral-bound)
I am a professional pet stylist, and when I saw this book advertised in one of the Groomer magazines, I immediately went to Amazon to purchase it. I was excited to see that someone had actually written a book addressing the issues of grooming "mixed" breeds, a.k.a. Mutts.Unfortunately, I was severely disappointed. This book provides no real information. The author uses drawings of dogs she has groomed in the past. These drawings are only a 'side' view, and no drawing of the all important head is included. I am giving this book 2 stars instead of 1 only because the author, at least, attempted to write a book about mutts. The author simply suggests that you, as a groomer, determine what pure breeds the mutt resembles, and then groom accordingly. I can tell you that in my shop, I see many mutts that are impossible to determine their lineage. I was hoping this book detailed the different requirements of grooming a mutt, such as providing details of creating a "Teddy Bear" head on a Shih Tzu, or how to set up a "mane" when doing a strip on an Alaskan Husky. The book is short on details, and actually gave me NO new information or tips that are not readily available in any one of dozens of pure bred grooming books. I cannot recommend this book to professional groomers as there is no detail and the drawings are sadly lacking. I certainly would not recommend this book to the grooming "do-it-yourselfer" as there is no information concerning the basics of grooming such as proper bathing and brushing, etc. Don't experience the buyers remorse I am experiencing. I absolutely do NOT RECOMMEND buying this book.

A Must Have! Don't Pass Up!,

This review is from: The Mutt Styling Guide (Spiral-bound)
I purchased this book under the impression that it was going to be a standard grooming guide. I am so happy that it wasn't. It is different than any other grooming book out there.Due to my busy schedule as a professional groomer, I do not have the time to dredge through bathing and brushing instructions over and over again, so I was delighted to see that these instructions had been omitted. I learned all the basics over eight years ago! I feel that this book is more about helping a groomer and dog owner see different possibilities of how to turn a homely mutt into a mixed breed champ.

As a dog groomer before I spend my hard earned money I always do my research. The wonderful articles about The Mutt Styling Guide in January 2006 edition of Dog World, Akron Beacon Journal, The West Side Leader, and it's most recent nomination for Dog Writers of America made me feel that spending my money on this book would be a safe bet. It was!I am very happy with my purchase and give The Mutt Styling Guide five stars.
