arthur ALPHA Dec 7, 2002, 5:12 PM Views: 4743 Re: [robee] Grooming Miniature Schnuazer Hi Veron, Glad you showed the "Before" and "After" photos to illustrate the difference in what grooming can do to keep our furkids looking good..and Robee does looks good! I have some queries: 1. Assuming you strip, trim, clip, cut & clean in a single session, how long did it take you? For us, it took about 4hrs or more. 2. Robee's furnishings and beard looks very good and completely mat free. I'm thinking of using a coat conditioner and dematting agent from the No.1All systems or Christenson range. Would apprec your comments (Eileen, you're welcome to join in this thread anytime!) 3. My Andis clipper blades are getting dull. Would you know how much is it to get a replacement blade in Singapore? In Malaysia, it costs about RM110 onwards. Comments: During the last AKU show in Malaysia, the Japanese judge told me that a Mini-Schnauzer eyebrows should be seperated by a gap equivalent to the width of the nose. In Robee's photos, the eyebrows seemed a bit close together.. Just sharing what I learnt from the show judge. Thks for the great photos. Rdgs Arthur

For us, it took about 4hrs or more. ==== i cnt strip in a single session. I took around 5 wks to completely strip her coat (weekly interval), in sections. If you can get or got the AMSC grooming chart. That is a very good guide. For just trim, clip and cut and clean (assumed bath) it shd take me not more than 1 and a half hours. 2. Robee's furnishings and beard looks very good and completely mat free. I'm thinking of using a coat conditioner and dematting agent from the No.1All systems or Christenson range. Would apprec your comments (Eileen, you're welcome to join in this thread anytime!) ==== Maybe i share with you what i use for them. 1) Bathing - for whitening, Winner's Circle, Chris , All System, Lambert Kay all works quite well for my gals. 2) Conditioning - no rinse off condition for them. But after their fur is dry, i will either spray some CC's Ice on Ice (1 thumb up) or rub in some (a bit will do) winner's circle o' pana sub (2 thumbs up). I brush them daily, thus i don't really use any dematting agent. But have a greyhound or mini greyhound works wonder for dematting small area. 3. My Andis clipper blades are getting dull. Would you know how much is it to get a replacement blade in Singapore? In Malaysia, it costs about RM110 onwards. ==== Arthur, from my experience, it's not cheap to get in Singapore either. thou I have andis clipper, but i luv the oster blades. It's sharper and the cut IMO cleaner. It used to cost SGD48 for an oster blades, but the price has gone up since the new distributor took over a few months ago. Now it will cost SGD57 for a blade. I get my blades from www.petedge.com (US Online Shop). Adding freight etc. the blades cost me less than SGD40.

In Robee's photos, the eyebrows seemed a bit close together.. Just sharing what I learnt from the show judge. ==== thanks for sharing, you are right. Robee head structure is narrow, not as flat and wide as kimba. I will try to strip off more whites the next time. See how can I improve on that, show you again next time :) rgds, v Wht's better than two miniature schnauzer? Three miniature schnauzers!

arthur ALPHA Dec 8, 2002, 7:38 AM Views: 4732 Re: [robee] Grooming Miniature Schnuazer Hi Veron, Thks for your prompt reply. Yes I have the AMSC grooming chart. For the period when the furkid is bare, do you put any clothing on them or something to protect the bare skin? To maintain the furnishings, you mention Winner' circle o'pana sub. What is this? I have not come across this product here. So the andis clipper can adapt to the oster blades? Great. Thks for the tip. Rdgs Arthur

robee Dog Kichi Dec 8, 2002, 7:16 PM Views: 4727 Re: [arthur] Grooming Miniature Schnuazer Yes I have the AMSC grooming chart. For the period when the furkid is bare, do you put any clothing on them or something to protect the bare skin? === if you have strip your dog before, the next stripping, you don't nid to strip off the full coat, you can just strip off the wired coat, leaving the undercoat to be raked as the wires surface. The O'pana sub contains sunscreen also. thus when i need to bring robee in the sun, i will apply that on her. clothes in our weather is a bit too much for her. To maintain the furnishings, you mention Winner' circle o'pana sub. What is this? I have not come across this product here. === it is not available locali in singapore, i am not too sure about malaysia. Check this out, contains a gd range of winner's circle products. my favourite 1)o' pana sub, 2) wash & dry (rinseless shampoo), 3) ultra stain remover. O'pana sub Conditioner and Lengthener Nourishes skin and hair to promote hair growth; helps prevent breakage and repairs split ends; helps eliminate dandruff; helps protect against sun and wind damage; helps keep hair tangle free So the andis clipper can adapt to the oster blades? === yes, they are compatibles. Get the oster cyrotech blades if you can.... see below: Elite A5 Cryotech Blades glide effortlessly through the coat. Elite A5 Cryotech™ Blades are cryogenically treated and coated with titanium carbonitride. Cryotechnology conditions metal to 300 degrees below zero, so molecules are aligned in a perfect structure. The result is a harder, denser metal that holds a sharper edge through prolonged usage. Cryotech™ Elite Blades also withstand more sharpening treatments for unsurpassed longevity. Sharper blades glide through coats with less effort, saving you and your clipper from unnecessary fatigue and wear. Longer lasting blades increase the value of your investment. Special Titanium Carbonitride coating protects blades from scratching and rusting while creating a slick surface that maneuvers smoothly through coats with minimal groomer effort. Elite blades are longer lasting than regular steel blades. With a Rockwell Hardness rating of 82+, blades hold a sharper edge for superior performance and endure more sharpening treatments over time. Size 10 Blade has a 1/16" blade cut. rgds, Veron Wht's better than two miniature schnauzer? Three miniature schnauzers!

Rdgs Arthur

robee Dog Kichi Dec 9, 2002, 7:01 AM Views: 4715 Re: [arthur] Grooming Miniature Schnuazer if you seriousli want to visit just a few pet shops, i will recommend the following: Lotsa Nice Stuff - for those who show etc... think u might be able to get the o'pana thr, but beware it is reali expensive. the mason pearson pure board bristile that i got fr UK, they are selling like 2 - 3 times more. Rainin' Cats 'n' Dogs Pte Ltd Category: Pet Shops Address 176 Orchard Rd #02-32 Centrepoint Singapore 238843 Telephone 6735 7177 The other one that sells a wide variety of stuff at very reasonable price is aquapets.

elizatye K9 Senior Dec 9, 2002, 11:28 PM Views: 4696 Re: [arthur] Grooming Miniature Schnuazer Hi, Arthur, So you will attend the schnauzer grooming demo in Singapore on this coming Saturday. So great ah … I do hope that I can go too, but … hai, miss this great opportunity, don’t know how long should I have to wait until … Why don’t the demo also hold in Malaysia ah? Sayang lah……… Eliza

arthur ALPHA Dec 9, 2002, 11:46 PM Views: 4692 Re: [elizatye] Grooming Miniature Schnuazer Hi Eliza, Long time no news from you... What! You mean you are going to miss this chance to see a professional groomer at work? This lady is coming all the way from USA to demo her skills on our beloved MS breed. Well, she's not coming to Malaysia probably because no one has invited her... like you said, very sayang-lah. Also, I believe a Singaporean couple have imported a Legacy kennel dog. Most probably she's here on invitation either from the couple or SCS themselves. Rdgs Arthur
