Next step is the tail.What is not more beautiful as a Goldenwith a
trimmed tail.
It is always as if they are so proud right after
trimming.
I prefer to cut the hair of the tail when laying down on the floor on the side.
First brush the tail very very good, then spread it on the floor(you can also do it
standing, write down the method of
laying on the floor).
The shape you are aiming is longer hair at the base, gradually become shorter until
it is rounded up at the tip. Use the straight-edged scissors
Well the tip of the tail we already trimmed when standing on the table, so we have
already the correct end, now the rest.
Begin by brushing the hair away from the tail, so that it spreads in a fan shape.
The finished shape should resemble a cook's knife longer at the base of the tail, shorter
at the tip with a rounded-off point. Do not lean on the tail as you trim, as the doggies
automatic reaction is to pull his tail out of your grasp, so making your task doubly
difficult.
Having trimmed the full lenght once, comb the hair, then shake it and comb again. It is
surprising how many long, straggly hairs which escaped the first trimming become obvious
at this stage. Sometimes I need to trim and shake several times before all the hairs have
been dealt with.
About how long the tailhair should be at his longest point. Most people prefer round the 4
inches(10 cm), is actually all depending on the length of the doggie overall, tail length
must be in proportion with the rest of the doggie.
The end of the tail has to be rounded.
