COME TOELETTARE LA CODA DEL GOLDEN RETRIEVER

Well, I change the scissor, so I take my small straight scissor, comb all the tail out and I'm going to work on it. How does the tail have to be? The tail of a golden, to be correctly defined, the tip of the tail must not exceed the tip of the cap. But obviously not all the tails are correct, so it can happen that there are some tails a little longer and then we go beyond. When I understand that the tail must not exceed the tip of the cap, obviously I'm not talking about the hair, we're talking about the bone. This means that if I touch the bone of this dog and I put it here in conjunction with the tip of the cap, I have a correct tail in this case. So what am I going to do? The moment I'm going to do the cut, I'm going to cut trying to stay as close as possible to the bone, then to the last vertebra. How do I do it? I comb all the hair of the tail out, both from the top and from the bottom, in this way. Be careful when you do this step, it is essential that the tail is perfectly combed, because otherwise you will come out of the tips. Then I bring all the hair out, in this way. Here, between the thumb and the index finger, I have the tip of the bone of the tail, so I'm sure I have it in my hand and I can't hurt it. I take the scissors and make a cut. Get up, Pagnottino. Let's show that we cut this tail. Obviously, like all Golden dogs, they are always tired. So I bring everything out, I keep the bone in my hands, straight scissors and make a straight cut. After that, I turn. In this way, leaving, I will already have the base for my tail. At this point, what do I have to do? Once the tip is worked with a single cut, it is important that it is combed perfectly to avoid having hair that shoots. At this point, I take the scissors, so I take a narrow tooth, I take the tail in my hand, like this, I comb everything down and from the point where I traced when I made the first cut, I do nothing but follow the natural shape of the tail. So I'm just going to raise the tips, which are the ones that give that appearance of transparency, in this way. The shape of the tail is essential, because being dogs that work in water, the tail has this shape because it is nothing more than the rudder of the dog. So this tip will serve them to be able to perform their functions. So I cut and I'm just going to raise the transparency. When you do this job, preferably put yourself in front of a mirror, so as to see what shape we are having, if there are hairs that shoot and if the tail takes the right shape. The tail must be very full of hair, voluminous. In fact, if you remember, we used a balm, volume, both in terms of the rudder, the tail and the rudder.
