The Mutt Styling Guide

this is going to be a really great reference ... I can see me reaching for this tool regularly when discussing preferred styles on mixed breeds with their owners. I do have to admit I am reasonably new to dog grooming, having only worked on my own mini schnauzers in the past and having only a history of hairdressing to guide me.

very informative book, I'm glad I purchased it, It has lots of diagrams of different problems you can encounter and tells how to fix them. I'm glad to have it in my library.

I gave this book only 4 stars because there weren't any actual pictures included which would have been nice to have at least one for each dog she discusses. The drawings are good but it is hard to show subtle differences with drawings. Otherwise it is a great book, many interesting ideas and she helps you understand the steps to figuring out how to choose a cut for your mutt in an easy to understand and engaging way.

These book got to me in great shape and on ti me. It has been a great help with doing my job. Would recommend for anyone. Easy to follow directions.

As a new groomer, I found this a bit confusing and wished there were more mixed breeds in the book. Still helpful though.

shows you how to do things the other book will not. Its a keeper. thank you for getting it to me so quickly.

My daughter loved it for work

I am a professional pet stylist, and when I saw this book advertised in one of the Groomer magazines, I immediately went to Amazon to purchase it. I was excited to see that someone had actually written a book addressing the issues of grooming "mixed" breeds, a.k.a. Mutts.Unfortunately, I was severely disappointed. This book provides no real information. The author uses drawings of dogs she has groomed in the past. These drawings are only a 'side' view, and no drawing of the all important head is included. I am giving this book 2 stars instead of 1 only because the author, at least, attempted to write a book about mutts.The author simply suggests that you, as a groomer, determine what pure breeds the mutt resembles, and then groom accordingly. I can tell you that in my shop, I see many mutts that are impossible to determine their lineage. I was hoping this book detailed the different requirements of grooming a mutt, such as providing details of creating a "Teddy Bear" head on a Shih Tzu, or how to set up a "mane" when doing a strip on an Alaskan Husky.The book is short on details, and actually gave me NO new information or tips that are not readily available in any one of dozens of pure bred grooming books. I cannot recommend this book to professional groomers as there is no detail and the drawings are sadly lacking. I certainly would not recommend this book to the grooming "do-it-yourselfer" as there is no information concerning the basics of grooming such as proper bathing and brushing, etc.Don't experience the buyers remorse I am experiencing. I absolutely do NOT RECOMMEND buying this book.

Good guide
