Degree of difficulty plays an important role in a judge/judges decisions.
When the allotted class times are up, the judges will examine the dogs by hand and comb
through the coat, taking the following into consideration when making their decisions:
Poodles:
1. The suitability of the trim to the dog’s conformation.
2. The quality of the clipper work:
A. Whether pattern is placed correctly, evenly, & clipped with the appropriate blade, whether clipped lines are
definite, straight, neatly beveled where they meet body coat.
B. If there is no pattern and the body is clipped overall, whether the groomer has used a blade Complimentary to
the coat.
C. Whether the feet, face and tail are clipped with the appropriate blade, whether the clipped lines on face are straight and clipper work is smooth with no tufts of hair around the lips and eye corners. Whether feet are
clipped clean between toes and pads.
3. The Quality, uniformity and smoothness of the scissoring
A. Whether the finish is like that of plush velvet, free of scissor marks.
B. Whether legs are scissored evenly & are of sufficient fullness to balance the dog.
C. Whether the topknot and tail are properly shaped and in balance to each other.
4. The degree of difficulty of the clip. This does not mean that fancy patterns should take precedence. Overall
scissor trims can be as difficult with certain coat textures.
5. The dog’s overall finished appearance with emphasis on balance, symmetry and smoothness of finish. The trim
should hold together when the comb is passed through the coat.
Terriers, Sporting and All Other Purebreds:
1. The suitability of the trim and how it conforms to the accepted breed standard and profile.
2. The quality of the clipper work: whether the clipped areas have been clipped with the appropriate blade, whether
they are neat and smooth, all clipped lines are straight.
3. The quality, uniformity and smoothness of the scissoring and/or thinning.
A. On scissored breeds, whether the finish is plush and free of scissor marks, and whether legs are scissored
evenly and of sufficient fullness to balance the dog, whether the head is properly trimmed and balanced.
B. On breeds with eyebrows or falls and beards, whether the trimming is correct and points up the distinctive
features which characterize the breed.
C. On breeds with furnishing or feathering, whether they blend smoothly.
4. The dog’s finished appearance with emphasis on balance, symmetry and smoothness of finish.
Hand-Stripped Breeds:
1. The suitability of the trim to the accepted breed standard and profile.
2. Whether the body coat has been neatly stripped with appropriate tool or finger and thumb; whether there are
visible pink or bald patches afterwards (this is undesirable). The hair must always be removed with the lay of the
coat and without pain.
3. If clippers are used to trim the soft coat on the head and ears, the front of the neck or on the insides of the back legs,
whether these areas are trimmed neatly and smoothly with the appropriate blade and clipper work is smooth.
4. If scissors or thinning shears are used to trim the furnishings, the quality of work.
5. The dog’s overall finished appearance with emphasis on balance ,symmetry, smoothness of finish and preservation
of the distinctive features that characterize the breed. Whether the dog has a smart, definite outline with furnishings
blending in to look natural rather than jutting out.
Mixed-Breeds/Miscellaneous:
1. The originality and execution of the clip and its suitability to the dog’s conformation.
2. If clippers are used; the quality of the work, whether the clipped areas look neat and smooth.
3. If scissors or thinning shears are used: the quality, uniformity and smoothness of the work.
4. Dog’s overall appearance, emphasis on balance, symmetry and smoothness of finish.

“French manicures” and “candy corn” toenails, plus other fun ideas with polish. We will talk about
color, stenciling and chalk designs that will turn heads... and pocketbooks. Having problems with
bows? Delise will show you fast and easy methods of attaching bows with new ideas on putting bows
on different breeds. Bows are not the only accessory these days. We will explore other items that
will dazzle your clients as well. Let’s get creative!

organic and enviromentaly friendly” everyday. So, how do they relate to our industry and how can we
profit from them? We’ll explore how to make your salon “green” and “natural” by simply changing a
few of the necessary things you do everyday. Sound costly? Well, it dosen’t have to be. It is possible
to turn those words into money in the bank for you. Come on in and you will discover how easy it

the right shear for you and see first hand why the right shears are the best investment you
can make.
4:00 - 5:00 .... “Grooming the Doodle” - Jay Scruggs. The Doodle is one of the designer breeds
that has become very popular in the last few years. Doodles come in all shapes, sizes, colors, and coat
types. These variations make them a difficult breed to groom. Jay will teach you how to educate clients
based on coat type and need for grooming. Jay will also teach you tips and tricks on how to dry and
clip this breed in less time. All of the doodles have different coat types as well as different body types
which calls for different styles for different dogs. Jay will cover body structure, coat type, as well as
which trim best suits each dog.
