Papillon

SUSIE

The Papillon was once known as a Continental Toy Spaniel. This gorgeous little breed’s name is derived from the French term meaning butterfly-eared. Jess takes us through a pet trim on Susie.

PART 1 Papillons have a silky, combination coat. Most of the work is done in the bath and dry. Removing dead coat, knots and tangles is key to setting this breed up for success in the grooming room. Jess uses a slicker brush and comb to remove any unwanted hair and then begins trimming the feet. This is followed by chunkers to the rear end to create that ‘perfect peach’.

PART Jess follows through from the rear end to the front of the rear leg, then continues an outline trim around Susie using thinning shears and chunkers. The ears of a Papillon make up this breed's personality. Always check with the owner if they want any hair removed.
