Draven

PART 1 Setting the body and bracelets in. It takes time to set a heavy coated dog in. The front bracelet needs to match the highest point of the rear bracelet. Chuckie uses an anti slip mat for this dog, as he loves to move around. Chuckie uses a 10mm comb on the body, a #7F or #5F could also be used.

PART 2 Chuckie sets the finer points of this trim in using 8 inch curved scissors to clear the body from the topknot, define the bracelets, and scissor in the legs above the bracelets.

PART 3 The bracelets! There are 2 ways to set in the bottom of the bracelets, with scissors or clippers. Chuckie uses a #40 blade on an angle to bevel the bottom of the bracelet.

PART 4 The head study. Styling a topknot is fun! Bring the back of the neck in to suit the dog and owner's lifestyle. Most owners are not fantastic at brushing long hair. This is overall a low maintenance groom for an owner, but they still have to brush the dog.
