It's true! After four years I've given up the battle. I don't bother brushing but I just shave her down a few times a year. Way shorter than this – full on buzz cut. She loves the shorter hair so much. And so do we!

With the Kom, her hair is going to matt no matter what you do – it is designed to do that to that to form the cords!

Fur up those nose? Yikes, that's so itchy!! Luckily (?) Szuka gets so matted and knotted that the fur doesn't fly too badly. It's been a couple of years and we still groom her ourselves and I think we have kind of gotten better? Surprisingly very little improvement, but some haha

I did the same thing last summer my poor little Malti-Poo was SUPER raggedy and the wait was 3 weeks so I fired up the clippers and did it myself. My daughter helped hold her (thankfully she doesnt struggle at all) so the only issue was the crazy amounts of fur that went up my nose while clipping her. I did get all the matted spots out and generally did an OK job that got her by till our next grooming. Honestly I dont ever want to do it again, my nose itched BADLY for days!

I swear I am going to start selling the wool to pay for the grooming. Two words….Goat Shears!!! They sell them at Tractor Supply…a little more than the dog clippers you guys purchased..but the ONLY shears that will work!!!

I can't heave her onto a table (she's 93 pounds) but something to keep her standing would be great. She'll lie down and won't budge, so she gets these lopsided haircuts. Thanks for the tip!!

My dogs hate getting groomed by me. I finally broke down and bought a special table attachment that helps keep my dogs from sitting. You can buy it on Amazon. It is adjustable for the height of your dog. If it only has one collar on it you need to buy a second one for his back end. Also, putting the dog on a table covered with a towel of something larger helps keep the hair from getting all over, protects the table, and keeps the dog from sliding around.

When Szuka was smaller, everyone thought she was a poodle mix – a labradoodle was the most common guess. The coat is very similar. Happy to hear your mom got so good at it – that motivates me to keep practicing! Do you want to hear something totally strange about her bum? I actually airbrushed her bum in the photo of her leaping. I really didn't want to disturb any readers who may have been scrolling through the photos eating a chocolate chip muffin. The fur on her nether regions is discoloured, partly from the oils in her skin, from sitting on her bum, and, well . . . let's just say it was a little browner than the rest of her.
