Mini Schnauzer Grooming

The Miniature Schnauzer Grooming Chart Overview:

1. Start by brushing your miniature schnauzer out thoroughly. You will want to make sure he is free of mats.

2. Using #8 or #10 blade begin moving clippers downward from the base of the skull to the tail.

3. Follow the pattern in the diagram above, clipping downward on either sides of your schnauzer's body to just about an inch above the hocks.

4. When clipping the top of the skull, cheeks, and throat, move the clippers against the grain.

5. Continue clipping downward on the chest area - stopping just at the shoulder blades.

6. Using scissors, shape legs, underbody furnishings, and tail, as above.

7. When trimming eyebrows and shaping the beard - face your dog and comb hair forward. Cut a straight line to the outer corner of the eye. Don't remove too much of the beard but do trim it up a bit also.
