Dog Show Grooming: How To Groom a Powderpuff Chinese Crested

[@ursadabear2810]

Thank you so much! I just adopted a little powderpuff and I’m excitedly researching everything I can. This video is so helpful!!!

[@lindat7525]

Oh my, I just brouhgt home yesterday a powder puff, 'cause I love the temperment. He's the exact same colouring as Captain. As a pet, I don't think I'm gonna groom him exactly like this. I've been grooming my toy poodles myself for 30 years.

[@danebrk]

Thankyou once again and Thankyou to Kay for sharing all her knowledge. It was so nice to see a video on the powder puff! Great job!!!

[@BestInShowBitch]

You are so very welcome and I couldn't have said it better myself. Kay is amazing and so thrilled the Powderpuff is getting some love :)

[@AnnaBraley-r5f]

Such a good dog! Mine is not not so much. Thank you!

[@Marilyn-l3n]

What I love is that Charlie our 14 year old has beautiful markings.

[@tigerskatemom]

Amazing video. So many good tips and lots of details. I have PPuff and absolutely in love with her. Very lovely character, playful and sensitive and stunning beauty! I love hairless and PPuff equally. My next one will be hairless. I want a playmate for her.

[@BestInShowBitch]

Thank you so much for the kind words! Yes I am truly blessed to have been able to work with Kay and get this filmed! And as a stalkery fan of this breed - if I didn’t go with chihuahuas I would have totally wet with cresteds.... I can only imagine how amazing it is to have your very own and hopefully plural!!!

[@emanubano]

I was thinking about wanting a crested while watching this!!

[@BestInShowBitch]

I know right? Such an amazing breed. I am totally wanting one now

[@johndbro1]

I have one, she's a month younger than Captain. She (Delaware) is 90% perfect. She barks at noises outside sometimes, and she is a little bitey, although she's got a pretty soft mouth. But other than that, I couldn't ask for a better dog. I love her so much!

[@BestInShowBitch]

@@johndbro1 They truly are amazing dogs and at her young age, a lot of that can be adjusted ;)

[@sherinelson5687]

I just read your post from 6 months ago! You should definitely get one! I have 6 Cresteds and one of them is from Kay! They are amazing dogs!!!

[@marleeamato4944]

Great dogs, but A LOT of work!!! I have 1 puff and its maintenance

[@ConstantCompanion]

How do you clean his teeth? They are pristine white. And they are the best for you! I purchased a puppy a couple years ago. She said it was a Maltese! Not. Instead I got this gorgeous little Powder Puff and we love her dearly.

[@SusanBuckingham-ut2ez]

My puffs undercoat is SO thick! Can it be thinned or removed somewhat? Honestly, You cannot get thru it! I've had to resort to a pony cut last May. Now the outer coat and under are the same length, ugh! He isn't shown because his ears would count him down, however, I'm very proud of him and want his grooming to represent his breed accurately. Because of how thick his coat is, he hollars while trying ro remove all the knots! What a predicament! Go easy on me, I'm an old lady, ha! Love the videos, this is my last dog. I've shown Siberian Huskies and Shetland Sheepdogs and done my own grooming.

[@danielnina4]

This shows using tresemme shampoo & conditioner but all the research I’ve done says not to use human shampoo because of ph level differences. Can you explain?

[@lydiawho12]

You shouldn't use human shampoo because of the PH levels please don't

[@GoldenShrike]

My dog is a powderpuff chihuahua mix and funnily enough he became more naked than the powder. Still got a very furry face that needs trimming! They’re so cute

[@Tasselassen1]

Nice work 👌 Can I ask how you trim the tail when it becomes frizzy and long. And If you like me grom ccpp as a HL. Can I also cut the top on head a little shorter in front so I don't need to use hair rubber band in the front. Had trim the man to make more full not frizzy and thin as it grows?

[@darleenpauley9067]

We just got our first chested and love him to bits

[@BestInShowBitch]

They are a fabulous breed! If I ever get another breed it will definitely be a crested

[@BestInShowBitch]

Congratulations on your new addition! What is his name?

[@darleenpauley9067]

He was named Bobby

[@Brex806]

Great lessons learned. Thanks for sharing.

[@katc1226]

What a beautiful and well behaved pup! I am curious, how much do the powder puffs shed? Does their coat keep growing, or does it stop at a certain length?

[@BestInShowBitch]

I have been told that they don’t shed. And the coat will grow to the ground. Some coat types are easier then others. And some very hairy hairless cresteds have mistakingly been taken for powder puffs and some owners are left wondering why their hair doesn’t grow longer.

[@julieoghestene]

How long before a show, is it recommended to do this? The day before?

[@elisewest6524]

I have a Puff and I groom him once a week and he's in full coat . However his temperament is not so great .I've socialized him like crazy but he's very timid .Not nervous .And his worse trait of all is he Growls at people and dogs.Non stop .He's bitten me and a Child .He's just over a yr .So I wasn't expecting that sort of temperament with that breed .

[@unico9606]

The best video I have ever seen!!!

[@BestInShowBitch]

How sweet are you? Thank you!!!!

[@rutharellano-carroll4640]

Thank you so much. It looks so easy when you do it. I feel a lot less afraid now after watching your video.

[@BestInShowBitch]

I’m so glad you found my video and I hope it helps you! Take a deep breath and remember you got this!❤️

[@helenalago1320]

I have a very scared chinese crested puppy. She wants to escape the grooming table and doesn't let me shave her face. Any tips for getting her used to it? She is already 3.5 month's old and was only shaved twice at the breeder

[@Will-yl8tn]

How does that plucking thing at around 9:15 work? My powder puff looks a lot like this one, but her hair parts between her ears and goes straight forward if I don't use a band. Will plucking really fix that so her hair parts down the middle?

[@Marilyn-l3n]

My Allie has super fine hair, does this mean she is not double coated?

[@teriboyd405]

They are such nice dogs. Stick to you like Velcro.

[@arturomontemayor3528]

How often should a powderpuff get a bath? Do they shed a lot or more similar to a Yorkie that barely sheds?

[@BestInShowBitch]

I would assume similarly to the long coat Chihuahua, once a month would suffice. Of course unless they love to roll in the mud and such. If you’re showing them, on the regular like weekly. Puffs are like long coat chihuahuas as well where are they blow their coat instead of a constant shed. Yes, like Yorkies 😊 It’s usually once or twice a year. For females it’s always after they go out of season

[@arturomontemayor3528]

BIS B I might get one next week! Thank you for your advice and congrats on your lovely yet educational video.

[@BestInShowBitch]

Thank you so much for the kind words and well wishes. Early congratulations on your new addition. They were wonderful breed!!!

[@tomaslanger9280]

Thankyou super. 👍👍

[@kateyjanson4774]

What is the burrito technique

[@CordialeCordi]

does powerpuffs hair grows as yorkies hair? or their hair wont grow 'till floor?

[@BestInShowBitch]

Tiffany said.... They are suppose to have coat “ moderate in length”. Some dogs are coat factories and it will grow way past the floor and yiu will have to trim them. Other dogs will not ever grow that long, but still have beautiful coat and proper

[@ritakinder4452]

would that work on a Pallion ?

[@eileen5464]

I enjoyed watching the hairless clip but I felt uncomfortable seeing the lady pulling out the long hair above his eyes. (We call it a fringe in the UK. I think you call them bangs?) In this clip. I would not like my hair to be pulled out like that. The clips are informative tho' so thanks for sharing

[@BestInShowBitch]

I get what you mean. We do it with your hair here in the states as well. Not sure if you do that in the UK. It’s really not painful for them. I would say equivalent to us plucking her eyebrows?

[@SGKeiana]

Does the powederpuff shed much? I want a small dog that looks like this, but my boyfriend really hates heavy shedding.

[@valorielewis2858]

they don't shed! :)

[@Marilyn-l3n]

How did this dog get such white teeth, Allie is 7 an her teeth aren't as white and we get her teeth every 6 months because she never took to me using a finger tooth brush.

[@izzypelletier4308]

What about the whiskers? Isn't it important not to shave them? There seems to be a difference of opinion about that.

[@Renvega77]

You can use human shampoo on dogs? Tresemme for humans???

[@AvgasLL]

Can you reply pls. I really love your videos! But im uncomfortable around curse words. For your title do you mean bitch as in female dog or ****** as the curse word? I would really like to know.

[@BestInShowBitch]

Yes I did respond in your previous comment. That is exactly what it is meant to be....A female dog. It is not meant in a derogatory way in anyway. I’m very sorry that you find it offensive but for those in the dog world the word is used on regular basis and with respect. I did go back and forth when coming up with a name for my channel but because of the respect the word does get in the sport, I chose to go with it.

[@BestInShowBitch]

I mean absolutely no disrespect to you and I do hope that you will stick around knowing that the word is used as a positive and not in a derogatory way. We have a lot of great information to share and I hope you can continue to join in the fun

[@AvgasLL]

Best In Show B!tch thanks!! I feel waay more comfortable! I cant wait for future videos! :)

[@AvgasLL]

Best In Show B!tch its fine, but thanks!

[@BestInShowBitch]

I am so happy! And thank you so much for coming forward with it! That means a lot to me. I would love to know how people feel not only about my content but Anything! I guarantee there are other people out there that had the same question as you and I’m so glad that I got to answer it!

[@plushie1019]

My god I want one

[@rvtalley]

Hi it Grace and I love 💘 it

[@BestInShowBitch]

Hi my love! I’m so glad that you liked it! Are you having a good vacation?

[@preetujjainwal6934]

Make video on Shih Tzu & American Coker spenial

[@BestInShowBitch]

Working on the Shih Tzu request currently. I’ll have to put some calls out on Cocker’s

[@preetujjainwal6934]

Ooh thank you so much

[@nevertedious1650]

What a lovely doggo 😭 the one I see in my job is spoiled to the bone and will yapp at the tinniest tinniest pin Knott you come across 🙄🤦🏽‍♀️

[@Marilyn-l3n]

I thought that you should use only dog shampoos, why use human shampoo with the bad chemicals in it? My power puff we shave shorter because we live in Florida and their coat gets hot and easily matted. Anyone else have this problems or issue using human products on your dogs?

[@AvgasLL]

Why do people shave powder puff chinese cresteds beards off? I personally think they look better with there facial furnishings :)

[@BestInShowBitch]

It is most definitely personal preference. Especially with your couch dogs. But when it comes to show you kind of have to follow what everyone else is doing and what shows the breed to the best possible

[@AvgasLL]

Best In Show B!tch ok

[@OwlNightMoon]

If I get powder puff one. I will let they have beards. Since I don't go at dog show.

[@AvgasLL]

OwlNightMoon noice

[@BestInShowBitch]

All personal preference! I shave a couple of my long coat chihuahuas that are couch lovers

[@davidyama]

You flat ironed a dog!? You're an animal!
