*Toiletter a cocker
spaniel means to take care of its dress so that the hair is as
beautiful as possible. Thus, clean and brushed, your cocker spaniel of
love will be able to walk the high head.
*Le
English cocker spaniel is a dog whose fur requires a particular care.
Until the 6 months age, put aside a regular brushing, the pup does not
require an important maintenance. However, it is as of its youth than
your cocker spaniel will have to be accustomed to be brushed in order
to remain wise on a table. ; You can also make him the lower part and
contour of the legs, as well as the tower of the tail in order to
accustom it to the scissors.
*C'
is as from 6 months (+ou-) that the fur of the pup makes it resemble a
large nounours. The hair becomes abundant on all the body and more
precisely on the head “the cheeck”. This woolly hair takes
a fair aspect diluted at the reds and russet-red at the blacks as well
as the blue ones. There it is time for coockie to undergo its first
meeting of grooming.
*Avant
all, you must wash your English cocker spaniel with a shampoo adapted
for dogs and adapted to the texture of its hair; I use for my cocker
spaniels a shampoo with the oil of jojoba. To make the hair silkier and
easier to déméler, one can apply a balsam conditioner.
Sponge well and dry coockie with dry the hair. Once dry and
démélé, one can begin grooming. With renouveller
every two months, if one does not want to find oneself with a ball of
nodes on legs.

*Lahead:It
is necessary to seize a very small tuft of hairs between the inch and
the index while holding the head with your right hand and to draw from
a dry blow. The chamfer as well as the cheeks often present the same
sleeping bag that it is necessary to depilate in order to make resortir
a well engraved head and a well marked stop.
ATTENTION to carry out this stage in several times, because that can seem long for your cocker spaniel and even for you.
*The throat:
one of the only part of the body where the mower is allowed with a comb
n°10. To leave the chin to the sternum. To apply the comb of the
quite parallel mower, if not the hair will take a " notched " aspect,
and go in the direction of the hair.
*Le neck:
For the chisel crantor, it is necessary to level the marks left by the
mower, while inserting the chisel in the direction of the hair to thin,
by taking care that the chisel is quite parallel within the meaning of
the hair. It is necessary to give a blow of chisel then a blow of
brush. To repeat the operation on all along the demarcation, this stage
emphasizes the neck.
*Les ears: To thin the top of the ear by applying the method so above and to mow the interior of the ear for hygiene.
*Pieds before and shoulders:
Using the right chisel, to cut the hair all around the foot while
forming a round-off, so as to emphasize a quite round and firm foot
(foot of cat). Eliminate the surplus of hairs exceeding from the
bearings with the right chisel. Curtail légérement and
equalize the fringes of the former ones. The shoulder must be depilated
in order to emphasize its angulation.
*Pieds back and back hand:
The thigh must be depilated and the fringes of the trousers slightly
curtailed with the right chisel, so as to let see the foot which will
be in the same way round that the front feet.
*Le tarsus(heel):perhaps thinned using the chisel crantor by inserrant it in the hair.
*Le whip:
To thin the hairs of the top and the lower part with the crantor.
Eliminate the superfluous hairs on its circumference with the right
chisel.
* Occiput while passing by the neck, the back, the sides and until the insertion of the whip:
Only one technique is recommended for this part of the body, it is
depilation. Using a fine comb equipped with a rubber band twisté
between the teeth, the dead hair comes easily. Do not yield to
temptation to use the mower or the crantor bus with pushes back the
hair will take an aspect rèche and gauffré, not tolerated
by the standard. Better is worth to carry out this stage in several
times and especially do not hesitate to contact me for information, I
would answer you the best possible one.
