QuestionWhere can I find good information, with photos hopefully, on grooming Westies? Our little "country dog" has a groomer, but I'd like to do it myself. Groomed our own poodles for years, but know nothing about Westies.
Thanks

This one also has a grooming video: http://www.atlantawesties.org/ProgramPages/grooming.html
I always liked to use a #7 blade on the body of the Westie. That blends in quite well with the skirt if one has a light hand. The #10 would be used on the ear tips and the groin area. Raking through the hair on the head with a stripping knife every couple weeks will keep some hard hair coming in so that the hair will have a bit more texture and not fall down flat so easily.
