Spitz can be recognized by its rich and dense coat. Wool for a dog is a matter of pride and an indicator of health. It is she who gives the Spitz the look of a small fluffy lump. In a Spitz-baby, a thick undercoat lifts the rest of the hair and gives the impression that the dog is constantly combed. Moreover, the better the coat, the longer and thicker the undercoat becomes. With such a fur coat a spitz is not afraid of any frosts.
Often, the chic look of wool causes fear among those who would like to have such a pet at home. After all, it seems that caring for such a fur coat is very troublesome and burdensome. Of course, in order for a pet to evoke the admiring glances of others, it is necessary to look after its coat. But the constant care of "hair" is not about Spitz! In the house on the carpet, there are practically no even hairs that have fallen out, because the dense undercoat keeps the rest of the hair well. Although one of the types of hair care that necessarily requires a Spitz is a haircut or grooming.
The hair of Pomeranian Spitz almost does not fall off, with the exception of some places, such as the groin, ears, armpits and the space between the fingers. It is interesting that the wool is stroked and processed always against its growth, that is, from tail to head. When grooming, this should be especially taken into account.
Pomeranian spitzing is carried out mainly for the convenience and neat appearance of the dog. Her hair does not grow constantly, like human hair, but grows only to a certain length. But in order for the dog to always look well-groomed, she needs to cut off the extra hairs.
Whatever “hair” the Spitz possesses, the haircut is purely symbolic. The protruding hairs on the ears, paws and around the anus are usually cut. For this procedure, blunt scissors are used.
To give the ear a rounded shape, the owner of the dog can cut off the hairs that grow along the edges of the ears. Excess hairs at the tips of the ears and inside the auricles can be plucked. Then the shaggy little handsome ears will protrude from the "thickets" of lush hair.
Thinning scissors will help to thin out a little hair on the back at the base of the tail so that it can bend beautifully and gracefully. It does not hurt to carefully trim the dog ugly sticking out “feathers” on the sides or withers so that they do not spoil the view.
This will be enough so that the Spitz, whose haircut is corrective in nature, always looks neat. In this form, the dog can participate in any exhibition and will create a pleasant impression about itself.
But in order to shear a dog, somehow especially, stunningly, special skills are required. You need to go to the salon to specialists who are engaged in grooming dogs. Then the chosen extravagant haircut of a Pomeranian spitz, a photo of which can be picked up in numerous magazines, will become a kind of “visiting card” for your pet. Although adhere to one piece of advice that experienced Spitz owners give: never cut your doggie "naked." He may never again grow wool and lose all his attractiveness.
There are situations when the owner himself decides to group. In this case, he needs to know at least the basics of the haircut, and how the Spitz behaves during this procedure. Haircut usually starts with the head.
The tips of the ears are trimmed first - this is the most difficult part of the whole procedure. After all, if the doggie is not accustomed to it, then you can easily cut off the Spitz’s ear. The best way to avoid such damage is to grip the dog’s ear skin between the thumb and forefinger. Then you need to mentally imagine a ball around the head and cut off all that is superfluous that creeps out of the scope of this "ball". To make the coat look more voluminous, but not look too heavy, cut off, looking at the dog directly, extra “feathers” on its shoulders.
The hair of the chest should be combed top and cut off with its angle towards the paw. Then cut the protruding hair around the diaphragm. To keep the tail beautifully, we cut out part of the wool under the tail. The next step - we make neat paws. You can cut the hair so that the foot becomes feline or rabbit. Well, the dog has become beautiful and well-groomed.
