Grooming the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel (Just a trim)

In this video I show you how to hand sissor your Cavalier King Charles Spaniel should you choose to do so. I use both sissors and thinning shears in this video. Starring the very sweet and handsome Remington! :) Hope you enjoy, Thanks for watching! :)

I actively show Cavaliers. To say that clipping or trimming a Cavalier is "wrong" is, well, WRONG. I laughed at the post trying to quote the AKC breed standard--they obviously don't have a clue what they're talking about. The coat requirements there refer to the show ring ONLY. It is PERFECTLY ACCEPTABLE to clip a pet, a rescue, an agility dog, or ANY dog NOT ACTUALLY BEING SHOWN...and, psst: the show dogs get trimmed too! (Sorry for the caps--some people just won't ever get it.)

we shave our dog, is that good?

[spanielmom93]

@XtremeGaming123 It's fine to shave your dog... it shows you take time to care for him/her and that is what counts. ;) I'm sure your dog is comfortable and loved. ;)

Why buy a beautifull Cavalier and do this to it, some people are just to lazy to look after the coat. I have two caviliers and I bought them because I like the look of the coat and I keep them looking the way they should they are sweet little dogs and always wagging their tails. I must say this one dose'nt look happy at all and I dont see it wagging it's tail. I dont show. A CAVI SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO LOOK LIKE A CAVI.

@sue079 Again, shame on you, shallow.... it's a shame, Cavies are so much more than just a gorgeous ball of fur.

@Mr808Muscle Hmmmm so i am a groomer In AUSTRALIA where i get 40 degree celcius heat high humidity and it is WRONG! that my clients choose to have there cavy shaved in summer so that when they go to the beach, dog park or lay in the sun they dont over heat and get burs, sand and dirt in there coat? If you got a standard poodle would you keep it in a continental clip? The dogs personality is what people want not the Looks! Looking only at looks makes you very shallow!

Just wanted to say thanks for this video, I've just taken a lovely but very scruffy/hairy rescue cavalier and as we are outdoorsy people he was in desperate need of a trim!! He is still nervous with strangers so decided to tackle this myself, got some proper scissors and thinning shears and the results are fab, he looks super smart and tidy without loosing any length of his coat, is much easier to keep clean and I am so chuffed.... thank you so much for the fabby videos!! :)

@sue079 Good Grief. Get over YOURSELF. If we don't show, there is no reason that we shouldn't clip. You are quite rude to try and force your narrow views on people like this. Remington looks sweet, just like my Ella.

[Luvpets90]

@sue079 Does this mean you are saying it is also WRONG for people to shave down their poodles? should they all be in a SHOW standard clip! People get dogs for the personality!

[Seaborne66]

And P.S. ask any groomer, rescue volunteer, or vet who they think is "lazy"--the person who has a clean, neat, trimmed dog, or the dog that comes in to them matted to the skin by someone who didn't give a damn. There are tons of trimmed Cavaliers out there, including mine--honestly not sure why someone would choose freak out over this.

[Seaborne66]

@sue079 As someone who shows Cavaliers and has had them since 1999, this is silly. What people do with their dog's hair is none of your concern, especially if the dog is healthy and loved--which is what really matters.
