CAVOODLE
Hendrix
We all know that customer line, “Please leave my dog as long as possible, he only has a few mats.” Well he did this time, but unfortunately he had a badly matted throat and neck. Nicky demonstrates that by using a combination of blades and a yellow comb the customer can have their longer body clip nicely blended to disguise the shorter matted areas, topped off with a classic Cavoodle head and feet. Watch along as Hendrix regains his rock star status.
