Here is a Kent’s Kanines model. She is a fantastic Golden Retriever that goes up to Napa for the summer. As you can see in my portfolio pictures on www.kentskanines.com Gallery 1, she normally has very long furnishings. Beautiful, long and flowing but, in summer that all comes off so she can enjoy romping in the pool in Napa. I am told that if she could spend all day in the pool swimming, she would. I do not take down the coat all the way on her back. She has the most beautiful red fur and her owners would flip if I did that. I skim her body with a 7 blade and basically give her a puppy cut. I do trim her stomach very, very short so that when she lies down on the floor she cools off quickly.

She also hikes a lot and with her “Summer Do” she doesn’t pick up as many burrs or fox tails. Also, tick patrol is much easier with less hair.

She is prone to yeast infections in her ears and neck under her muzzle because she is always wet from swimming and it can be very hot in Napa. I shave the hair on the inside of her ear flap and also her neck. This has worked very well the last few years to prevent any infections.

Hopefully, you will see through this video her good natured and adorable personality. Grooming her is always a joy and she rewards me with lots of kisses and lots of wags!!!
