Dog Grooming is Art, Skill, Trade and Profession

Dog grooming can be compared to human beauty culture because it is the beautification of the dog breed. The art of grooming is aimed at creating a reasonable facsimile of a normal specimen of the breed. 



Anyone interested in becoming a complete dog grooming artist, should know how to make all breeds beautiful. A grooming artist professional should know how best to enhance the appearance of each breed of dog.

A professional groomer understands that certain breeds, like Poodles, most Terriers and Spaniels, and the Shih Tzu require far more time and skill to groom than smooth-haired breeds, in which only a knowledge of the fundamentals is required.

History of dog grooming:

The dog has been the closest animal to the human family. Grooming dogs was the fashion of the aristocracy during the 19th Century. The art flourished during the reigns of Louis XV and Louis XVI of France. The Poodle was the favorite breed. Grooming was largely confined to the Poodle. The first recorded grooming parlors were established in France about this same time.

The dog has become so much an integral part of the family that going to the canine beautician is as much a ritual for the family dog as going to the hairdresser is for the lady of the house. Dog styling in general has also become so professional and sophisticated that dog owners have become as selective about their groomer as they are about their own hair stylist.

Origin of the clips:

Since the art of dog grooming flourished during the reigns of Louis XV and Louis XVI of France and the Poodle was the favorite breed in France, the Poodle breed became known as the French Poodle. The first Poodles were water dogs and retrievers. The clip most suitable to them resembled what is known today as the “Continental clip.” A mane of hair was left on the foreparts while the back and hindquarters were shaven. This clip made the Poodle resemble a lion, and therefore the clip became known in England as the “Lion clip.”

The American fancy made some variations in the “Lion clip” and began to call it the “Saddle clip.” The English Saddle clip calls for the greatest skill in the art of dog grooming.

It is not clear from historical records just when the “pet clips” originated. In the photo above, the poodle poses a classic puppy clip.

You will be pleasantly surprised when using the Life's Abundance pet grooming products together as when used together they create the "layering effect" us humans find when we use the same scent shower gel, then the same scent lotion, then a final spray of the same scent perfume. Each product enhances the other to intensify the effect.
