This brief and sassy Bichon modification hits all the precise spots for the Bichon fancier. Whether or not it’s a purebred present canine or a combined mutt in drag, a spherical, cute face with a manageable physique is a win with most pet house owners.

Fig 1) Begin proper the place the canine’s shoulder blades meet and clip to your required size. For my purchasers on a six-to-eight-week rotation, I like to recommend a 1/2″ guard comb over a #30 blade on the highest line.

Fig 2) Subsequent you’ll convey that very same size across the ribs and beneath the canine’s brisket.

Fig 3) Then change to a #5F in reverse, going from the canine’s Adam’s apple as much as the throat latch.

Fig 4) So as to present angulation within the rear, you’ll take a shorter size than the physique (on this case a 1/4″) and clip from the pin bone all the way down to behind the knee.

Fig 5) So as to add some stability, you will need to go longer on the legs. For this trim I used 1″ guard throughout the rear leg.

Fig 6) For continuity, you’ll do the identical factor on the entrance legs.

Fig 7) For Bichons, it’s OK to maintain the ft down and scissor round them. Form a pleasant spherical foot with a good bevel.

Fig 8) With the tail held over the again, trim away any of the hair that pulls the attention away from the middle of the canine.

Fig 9) Transferring on to the face, shave the highest lip and only one or two traces of hair on the underside lip simply beneath the nostril.

Fig 10) Subsequent, clip the cease with a #10 blade to assist make the eyes pop.

Fig 11) Comb the hair in direction of the eyes and trim the hair away from the eyes at a 45-degree angle.

Fig 12) In that tight throat latch that you just clipped, use a curved scissor reversed to separate the pinnacle from the physique.

Fig 13) Beginning on the backside of the pinnacle, form a good lip and spherical out towards the ears.

Fig 14) When you get even with eye stage, you’ll flip your scissor as much as assist create a spherical head from each angle. Then repeat on the opposite facet.

Earlier than I had any good Bichons to observe on, I had tons of curly combined breeds. I might observe and observe on all types of mixes, so long as I might make them fluffy. So this trim would work on combined breeds as nicely. That is additionally a pleasant trim as a result of the ears are brief and manageable. ✂️
