Why would you try to turn him into a short haired! There was no need to shave him that short! He wasn’t matted, summer cuts don’t need to be shaved to a 7! I trim my long haired down to minimum half inch with scissors, even then I feel bad for taking their gorgeous coats.

[@MarieJen]

I don't see how anyone can not love Chihuahuas🐶

[@VanessaKanbi]

I loved his long hair! I have a long chaired Chi and would never shave his hair off but was really interesting to see how its done! Would love to see how you groom a long-hair chi without shaving the body x

[@janicedafoe6793]

Vanessa Kanbi I agree their hair is thin and not hard to comb out. Why shave it?

[@sharonmariec]

I don’t shave mine either.

[@ajmckinney33]

My chihuahua would freeze if I shaved her!! She sun bathes all summer long.

[@Angellawhorn82]

@@janicedafoe6793 I have to keep my long haired Chihuahua groomed now due to her age and she can no longer clean herself so her poo gets tangled in and pee seemed to soak all the way up to her neck 🙄 it's easier for me to keep her clean with the shorter hair

[@marcprobin1659]

I don't see why someone would shave the hair of a long hair chi!

[@sparkybish]

I love his indignant head raise when you were shaving around his penis. Like “Excuse me!”

[@harleydominga]

I have a long hair chihuahua and I'm so glad you posted this so I can tell my groomer exactly what I want to do with her ❤️

[@denaadams6818]

I gotta say this little man is my favorite. So cute and such a good boy. Plus like all of us he’s imperfect. His “package” issue is so great 😂 and of course the eye issues. Bless you guys.

[@sarahr.trenchard8287]

OMG!! Cuteness overload! He's like the cutest dog I've ever seen! And such a sweet temperment. XOXO

[@adrianC_]

the ears are like butterfly wings haha

[@kaylahall1219]

Adrian C he looks a lot like a papillon for a Chihuahua huh?

[@jenniferwoo3044]

Kayla Hall Doesn't papillon mean butterfly? They are named that bc of their ears, right?

[@kaylahall1219]

Yes I think so. For certain papillon is french for butterfly 🦋

[@JessieR2023]

Kayla Hall its a long hair chihuahua. The hair on the ears of a papillon is longer. The muzzle on the papillon is also longer and pointier. The reason the ears are sometimes floppy it’s because they never tape his ears as a puppy to be fully erected.

[@christinekitsakis7898]

Long hair chis are a mix of chihuahua and papillon

[@lovelish]

long haired chihuahuas are cuter than short hair ones imo. ❤️ Bandit is adorbsss :3 I wouldve left his fur long. I love that you kept his chest fluffy.

[@1943maryellen]

I had a .brown & white Chihuahuas, she passed last September, That poor baby boy was scared to death. I never had My Coco cut that short & always kept the hair on the pads of her feet because hot sidewalks burn their little feet. He is a very sweet boy just like my Coco was except her legs were half as long😘😷

Cuter, yes. Hair in your eyes and up you nose during a car ride, NOT CUTE.

[@sexysammy90210]

What a cute little man! I have a long hair chihuahua too and they're so wonderful. I'm not a pet groomer (I'm a pre med college student in Florida) but I find these videos so fascinating and I definitely have a new found respect for groomers. You guys do such important work and I never realized just how must work and stress goes into it! Keep up the great work!

[@xxpinayheartsxx]

Such a cutie Chihuahua!!! Great job Dede!

[@wk1810]

Wow, this little guy is amazing! You can see he's nervous but isn't freaking out. His owner must be one chill lady.

Love your vids. You do a great job of educating viewers who are pet lovers whether professionals, pet parents, or just animal lovers in general. Would love to see pets and their parents reunited after you’ve worked your magic.Great caring attitude toward your clients.

[@carriesnest]

What a sweet baby! So well behaved. He looked like he had a little lion head. Great job Dede!

[@princessmuffin951]

OMG I can not take this! he is sooooo cute

[@IanEugene]

Nooooo.. You dont make a long haired chi a short haired chi :( They call them long-coat for a reason. Use them scissors to trim the coat and thats all they need.

[@mkopakowski9044]

I agree. The appeal of the breed is their large chest puff and the fluffy tail. My Paco had his first haircut recently and it was just that... a haircut. I even made sure they kept some of the long white streaks of ear hair long because that's what they're supposed to look like. My boy likes to be outside a lot, so he needs his protective fur. He's very sweet and playful. Everyone has a different idea of what they like and that's okay. Shaving is just not for me.

[@emilypaigewheeler9655]

I was thinking the same thing! I do a summer cut on mine but that’s wayyy too short, trying to make him short haired!

[@TheRealKCKay]

He’s so well behaved omg 😭😍

[@lindalopez2826]

At 21:06 his face when he pulls his leg back! LOL! He's so adorable!

[@Jojomo564]

What a cute dog! As always, great job on the grooming.

This was awesome! He’s so so cute! We have a 9 month old long haired Blue Merle chi chi ❤️

[@carolinegammage4598]

O-M-G!! Bandit is way cute! My baby Peaches who is a pug mix is also a puppy mill puppy. I adopted her at 1 years old and she was bred and had puppies at 8 months old. But now.. She is an inside baby that sleeps on our bed and is loved so much. Thank you pet mom of Bandit for rescuing your baby and sharing your story with us. You are fabulous! Dede love the groom, see ya next video

[@brendaramsbottom8693]

I have a little papillon/long hair chihuahua mix and I would never ever have her shaved her fur is beautiful and she has a little skirt.

[@laurenmichelle5713]

I really enjoyed your commentary as you groomed this darling chihuahua. I know if I lived in Dallas I would definitely bring my dog to you. Great vibe :)

[@PincheMigs]

What an awesome video good to share about others for sure! Such a cute doggie. 😍

[@keythedon8555]

When she first went in w/ the clippers & I saw how much she took off 🤭😧 oh my... came out cute though, DEFINITELY prefer a long hair chihuahua 🥰🥰 never had one & growing up I hated these little devils BUT they have grown on me from a distance lol..

[@annellewellyn5535]

Chihuahuas should not have any thing around their necks. They should have a harness, even for grooming.

[@JupiJupes]

This. It's dangerous.

[@TripleBlsdNHlyFvrd]

Great job! My mom has a long haired chihuahua that was adopted. His initial name was Bandit too and we renamed him Oreo. He's very quiet and doesn't bark either and weighs 10lbs. We're in the DFW area and I loved when he had his first shave, he looked so handsome. His hair was so long, especially the skirt area and ears. I love their fluffy tails. This little man is so cute too and well behaved.

[@noras.5355]

Bandit was adorable, and looked soooo easy to work with!

[@evonnewhalen9794]

This is so helpful! We just moved from Wyoming to NM. Short & long hair Chihuahua & Yorkie grew their tongues longer panting at 80 degrees & summer has t hit yet. I had to puppy cut & baby swimming pool. Thank you! I love your approach & style. 10*!

[@connies1966]

Awww, so stinking cute!!!

[@belleraychel]

What a great job! Beautiful baby and the groomer is phenomenal! I've watched a groomer on KZbin that had a big following and she was a hot mess (everyone thought she was great 🙄). Had loud must going on, talking drama, and hair flying everywhere, not engaged with the pet. Oh this was just such a pleasure to watch. Thank you! ❤ Love chi's btw.

[@simonalyneenderz3247]

[@gd50]

My groomer said the long hair chihuahua needs to keep their hair on the back for protection from the sun.

[@gd50]

I wouldn’t cut my long hair chihuahua like that.

[@SuziQPassion]

I love that you sweep the table off, i have been using the blow dryer and hair is everywhere!

[@hnhardin1217]

I wanted to shave the chest fluff so bad! Lol. Loved the ear trim.

[@thirstyboots6711]

Keeps exposing himself!! Made me LOL!

[@alisonsmith8663]

Ahh, bless wee bandit xxxx glad he found you guys xxxx

[@waadfrelle]

What a polite little sweetheart.

[@jenniferwoo3044]

Dede, while training as a Vet Tech, I learned that a dog's coat helps regulate their body temp. When shaved they can become overheated and even get a sun burn. Have you heard this? Do you warn clients about sunburn? Not judging, just curious.

[@hayleybarker890]

I doubt she warns clients about sunburn, as it’s probably common sense that exposed skin can be sunburned on a dog just like it is for us! I’d assume most of her clients are indoor dogs as well, and probably not in the sun for hours on end after a shave down.

[@myfavoritegroomer]

I just talked to a husky owner and we laughed about all the things people say, he said, I couldn't put him on video because he was wearing a company shirt. But, he was like, all the way shave the dog, he said the dog loves it, no shedding, and the dog is COOLER, and I said, tell me how you know that, because people are not going to agree, he said, you live with the dog, you shave the dog, its hot, you see him pant less and he is just more happy without all that hair. In my opinion, some things, just go out the door if you know on your own. In my opinion, get a husky, and have a long haired hot summer with that pet, then one year, summer, shave down, see what you think. Can't afford a husky, foster a husky for one year. Shave all the way! Never heard or seen a pet uncomfortable due to a shave down. A new appearance, yes, cats do that, one dog out of 5 k will do it, a shave down inside ear, where now it tickles, yes, some dogs do that, and shake their head the whole time, so we don't shave inside the ear. Sooooo, my opinion, do what is best for the dog and the owner and if what the owner requests is not unreasonable, and you can accomplish it, do it.

[@jenniferwoo3044]

My Favorite Groomer Ty for ur opinion. I trust u know bc of experience. That's why I asked. It's something we learned in school and wondered if it was true. I know pigs can get sunburn so i was curious.

[@Godresponds]

The husky owner may be surprised to know that small dogs do not have undercoats like a husky does.

[@tanpuppy24]

Liz Not all small dogs, but chihuahuas like in the video definitely do have an undercoat

[@JennyAndTheBoys]

Omg!! He id so cute and so well behaved! My chihuahua probably would’ve needed a muzzle 🤦🏻‍♀️

[@luciusmaximus1169]

The chihuahua was so cute after you shaved him! He was so well behaved! The story about his eye watering every time he smells food made me laugh 😁 his owner clearly cares for him to pay for an operation that cost so much and extra teeth cleaning on top to prevent eye issues! Not a lot of people would do that for their dogs, which is a shame. I would do anything for m furbabies!

[@joci9757]

Lucius Maximus sometimes people cant afford it but they still take good care of them

[@7777LORENZO]

Lucius Maximus me too they are my babies and they feel and hurt like people do

[@carriegemin5226]

I truly hope this chihuahuas hair grows back lol never knew that a chihuahua was supposed to be cut down this short omg wow.

[@silvanaconverti8078]

Nice🤩. what number of blade did you use?

[@maryfrancesswartout4642]

When referencing your blade gaurds, do u know if they are the same as cosmetology clippers. I'm a Cosmo, and have great clippers I use on my Chi-poo....

[@Sparky-dr1ii]

Question: How do you cut nails on dogs whose owner has polished them.

[@rachelcorinnaford9190]

try putting a flashlight 🔦 under the nail to see if the quick will show through the polish

[@myfavoritegroomer]

Trim just a tiny sliver twice in one session.

[@sharonK71]

I was also wondering do dogs ever come in with ticks?

[@amybaggett3579]

You do so good at groomer every time I Watch your videos I go groom my dog 🐶

[@heyher_the_odd]

Has your opinion changed on the basket muzzles? I have three dogs (2 westie-poos & a westie)I groom myself, and I am always nervous to trim nails. I know my dogs pick up on my energy. I don't want to stress them out just so I can get better at nail trims. I was thinking of the basket muzzle so I can reward the desired behavior and ignore or correct undesired. I want to prevent nipping while trimming nails or causing my dogs to be fearful of grooming.

[@TheCrippledCrafter]

Woody83 basket muzzles are far better for general use as they allow the dog to open their mouth to pant and therefore doesn't restrict the breathing. And they'll fit no less easily than the fabric type too x
