One of the less desirable properties Cockapoo, who need to care about every six weeks. A $ 65 - $ 75 a dog, and both of our Cockapoo puppy to a groomer is too expensive. The cost is $ 565 - $ 650 per year, depending on the type of groomer (cat groomer phone or at work).
So we bought a nail clipper and a trimmer apparatus, consisting of scissors and a DVD, a groomer in action. Then came the hard part - with them!
Alvin Prince, Do ItYou Dream Dog Groomers
At 7 months, Alvin (sometimes) have kept his cool and he has twice already by a professional. After a thorough cleaning of the teeth, we put it on a bench at the right level of care. As long as I keep my head, he is lulled into a trance by the sound of the clippers.
Alvin is a mix Bichon Frise / Cockapoo and look better when prepared with a modified poodle cut.
Sir Simon, the Do It Yourself Dog Groomers nightmare

The really bad news is that during a recent meeting the care for many goodies eaten mixed with some hair balls, and barfed it up to an hour later. It also has two bald spots, he moved unexpectedly. And 'good for about 2-5 minutes, then loses focus and begins to move.
The good news - aboutThe last 3 times we have maintained, we found a puppy under the hair. And he should associate with nursing and culinary delights. Finally, its maintenance.
At this time, we married Simon rather short in all. Even with the two dogs, we pay attention to the hair around the eyes. Dogs need to see, and short hair reduces blemishes Simons eyes with tears. Make sure the scissors straight angle in front of your eyes.
