Create a Lamb Trim for Your Dog's Dog Grooming

A lamb trim is good all purpose dog haircut. It can be put on many different long haired breeds. Poodles, terriers, toy breeds, as well as larger breeds.

The dog grooming equipment you’ll need for this trim are: your dog grooming clippers, clipper blades, brush, greyhound comb, curved and straight dog grooming scissors.

After your dog is prepped and you’re ready to begin use any blade you think will leave a length that looks good and makes you happy. I used a #7 full cut clipper blade for the trim on this dog.

Start at the base of the skull, clip the neck to the shoulders.

Clip down the front of your dog’s neck and blend off at the chest.

Clip the back and body blending off at the shoulders and the hips.

When clipping the sides of your dog continue around to the underside of your dog. Now is the time to take care of that area.

When you’re done with the body you have a choice of finishing the job with your dog grooming clippers or you can hand scissor the trim. To finish up your trim with dog grooming clippers. Put a #30 clipper blade on your clippers and attach the clipper blade comb that will leave the length you prefer. Then trim the extra hair off the legs and chest.

Continue brushing up the coat and clipping until no more hair falls.

Until you are proficient in blending off with your dog grooming clippers you will want to blend the body into the legs using your dog grooming scissors. Create your head of choice. Trim the tail

if needed.

Scissor in the legs and around the feet and your done.
