My wholehearted thanks goes out to Petgroomerforums.com for their helpful and HONEST critiques
Cocker Head
Probably one of the best cocker heads I’ve ever done. Don’t look at the feet, they weren’t done yet.

Omg, now THIS is more like it! I have actually just posted these photos for review and critique on Petgroomerforums.com… for the fun of it, i will be posting the responses I get.
Experimenting with an English Cocker pattern on a puppy
This is Rico, a 6 month old cocker puppy. This is his 2nd groom and he’s extremely submissive and anxious. He tried to bite my coworker when she checked him in for me and she came in shaking her head and giving what she thought was a death sentence: “they want a cocker cut”. I’d […]
