A few tips and methods to trim your sheltie for the show ring. There are many ways to prepare a sheltie and no one way will work for all but here are a few ways that work for me and will hopefully work for you too.

Learn to groom your sheltie for the show ring. Bathing and drying are the building blocks to a perfectly groomed Shetland sheepdog. Karen Linlkletter Linkridge Shelties Music by Happy Life by FREDJI SoundCloud.com/fredjimusic fredjimusic Music promoted by Audio Library youtu.be/u4PI5bI9k
What brand and style of blender/thinning shear are you using? Also what is that small straight scissor you used on the lips?
The bi blue, what a sweety. I have blue merle puppy. Go 1 time to show . I brush thats ok for me. By the way. Nice film
Arthur thanks you. I have done some really bad grooming on his ears. I have paws and legs looking good. But those ears! I never can tell the difference between ear fur and the head and neck fur around the ears. This makes better sense.
Another great video... thank you again!
Great video! super helpful ideas and demonstrations. Thank you so much for making this available Do you use the Andis rake with cutting teeth (like Mars Coat King) or the Andis rake with the pins?
I love you blue she a beauty
Beautiful dogs!
The dog is so well behaved there's no restraints being used. I do understand though. This sweet dog has been well treated and never experienced hair matting or any negative grooming experience. I've watched other groomers from those in shelters to those who pay. I've seen those in shelters being treated very kind but those who pay that were handled rough, but on the other hand, groomers who charge were very kind even to those dogs who supposedly were very reactive, so it varies from groomer to groomer. When a dog trusts you, that dog will comply. I know this is what I see: A well trained, behaved dog who still will be a dog, but will be compliant enough to let the process happen in a positive way ❤
Thank you and yes, this is one of my personal dogs who I have raised from a puppy. She is very used to being groomed and actually enjoys the process. I am also a professional groomer so I deal with many difficult dogs as well. You are exactly right, if they experience dematting and other negative grooming experiences, it’s very difficult to get their trust back. I always do my best to treat them kindly and gently but it’s difficult when they haven’t always been treated that way. If all the dogs I groomed were good girls like Claire, I’d have the best job in the world! 😉
the music ruined the video i cant watch this
I agree. Annoying music serves no purpose.
Thanks for a good video! Groomed poodles some time and learning australian shepherd, but helping a friend trim her sheltie for their first show upcoming weekend :D
Your Shelties are Amazing! Im a big fan of your Blackberry!
Thank you loved your videos. Have my first show Sheltie so these videos have helped so much. Just wondering with the crown Royal spray for show day prep what number is the spray you have as noticed there are three different bottle 1, 2 and 3. Thank you :-)
Also forgot to ask I looked up the brush and there are a few different types of the boar bristle and nylon ones it says junior, pocket, popular and handy one, not sure what to get ? Any advice would be greatly appreciated please 😊
Why do you cut off her whiskers? Seems cruel!!!
Whiskers are removed on show dogs in North America. It’s not cruel and they grow back quickly. It’s completely optional though, unless my dogs are showing I leave them alone. It just provides a cleaner look and almost all dogs in the ring will have it done. I realize this isn’t the case in European show rings so it’s important to know what is considered appropriate in your region. 😊
I love my little ROCKY boy, he is the life in my life and I don't call him a _ _ _ he is my other little kid

Thanks!
Well... now I know why Johnson and Johnson finally got sued for causing cancer with talc powder (Baby Powder). They got enough rich people sick with their dog grooming for the ring.
No need to worry, powders are all made with corn starch these days. 😊
Why do you take the whiskers off? I have never heard of this.
Actually it's a really bad thing tu cut the whiskers off. Dogs need them to feel the world around them it's like the touch for us. That's also why it's the only time in the video where the dog moves.
It’s done on most show dogs in North America. It doesn’t hurt them and they grow back quickly. It’s entirely up to you if you want to do it though, I can’t imagine a dog would win or loose based on whiskers… I just find it gives the muzzle a cleaner look. 😊
@@XxLuUx My dogs all do competition sports (obedience, herding, rally, agility) and trimming their whiskers does not impact their ability or skill in any way. Dogs are not cats.
Please post more videos!
I’m working on a grooming your pet sheltie at home video, hopefully soon! 😊
Thank you for this video! I don’t show my boy but I like him to look nice. This has been our go to video since getting him. He’s only 10 months so we don’t do all of it since his coat is still coming in, but it’s made for a great at home guide for trimming him up.
I am a new sheltie handler from the Philippines ang this tips and ideas really helps a lot thank you
I’m so glad I could help, good luck with your shelties! 😊
That’s a Blue Merle!
So pretty.
I will never understand the need to take away a dog’s whiskers and tip their ears for aesthetics. They should be respected and appreciated for their natural beauty.
It’s definitely not a need, just a tutorial on how shelties are presented in the show ring. The breed standard calls for ears to be 2/3 erect with the tips tipped forward. It’s all a part of the correct sheltie expression. This definitely doesn’t mean that shelties that don’t have perfect ears aren’t beautiful as well. Many shelties have ears that do this naturally, some have prick ears, some have floppy ears. They are all beautiful and it only matters if you are wanting to show them. As for whiskers, mine are only trimmed for shows, otherwise they are left alone. I pluck my eyebrows and shave my legs when the occasion calls for it, we all want to look our best when in the spotlight. 😊
Thank you so much. I am a new sheltie owner and am struggling to learn scissoring skills or making paws look so nice and other things. This is so helpful.
aber warscheinlich müssen die armen tiere auf irgend eine hunde show.nicht schön wenn man shelties liebt.
oh gott was macht diese mit diesen armen sheltie .ich selber habe einen sheltie und weiß wie viel arbeit es ist aber das ist für mich grenzwertig.
Why trim the wiskers???
Hi teolinek, honestly, it’s purely cosmetic. It makes trimming the muzzle and lip line easier and gives it a cleaner look. It is entirely up to you if you want to do it but most shelties shown in North America will have their whiskers trimmed to show. That being said, if you don’t want to, you absolutely don’t have to. They grow back really quickly when not being shown. 😊
I’ve always wondered how to take care of my sheltie’s “saddle”! Thank you for the tips 😄
Thank you for your wonderful lessons!
Beautiful
How important it is to do all this if she's not going to a peagant? I'm happy to trim the mane and body but I'd wary of going anywhere near her eyes with a scissor 😫
You absolutely don’t need to do all of this if not going to a dog show. My non show dogs still get their feet and nails done as well as a good bath and blow dry every 4 to 6 weeks to keep their skin and coat healthy. The rest is mostly cosmetic and completely up to you and how much you want to do. 😊
Eres un sueño cumplido, que alegría encontrarte. Te amo, de verdad que si eres una groomer de verdad. Amo tu sabiduría y trabajo. Porfavor búscame en instagram como @clubcollie_colombiano Soy David Velez. Quiero que conozcas a mi Sheltie Betún. Saludos desde Colombia.
Thank you so much! Have collies and my grooming for the ring needed some help!
Congrats again on your video series. Just a clarification question. If you have a sable with a white ruff and a softer, silky coat texture like your bi-black that does not stand up easily, you add Kolestral and chalk as normal and then add the Igroom texturizer prior to ratting. You don't add additional Kolestral before adding the white clay magic powder. Correct? Thanks :)
Yes, usually the chalk and kolesteral are enough but if it needs a bit more help, add the texture powder. If it is very soft, you can add a bit of hairspray at the roots but just be conscious of how it feels, you want it to still feel natural. You’re better off with a natural feeling dog, even if the ruff doesn’t stand up. 😊
Hello! Great video! Was wondering how to trim my sheltie as he’s getting a bit too hairy. Just wondering, (as I’ve read online that dogs whiskers shouldn’t be cut or trimmed) is trimming a dog’s whiskers mandatory, or is it just for aesthetic reasons?
You definitely don’t have to trim whiskers, it’s only done on show dogs and even then completely optional. It gives the muzzle a cleaner look I find but absolutely not necessarily. 😊
@@linkridgeshelties7413 Thank you for the explanation! Your Sheltie is gorgeous!
You are definitely a great groomer and very agile with the scissors, but I wish I had seen you display a little more love to the poor dog. I kind of get the feeling of watching someone detail a car, and I think you forget sometimes that the dog is alive.
I’m sorry it appeared that way, I think I was just focusing on explaining what I was doing. I edited it down to just the essentials and cut out a lot of parts where I would play with her to keep her happy on the table. These dogs are my life and I promise you they get a tone of love and attention in their normal life. They are my house pets and Claire is normally goofy and playful but takes her grooming very seriously. If you watch till the very end there’s a short clip of her funny side. I will definitely try to include more of that in the future, it’s definitely important that they are enjoy the process too.😊
Karen, are you related to ART LINKLETTER?.. He was a wonderful man on his tv show: KIDS SAID THE FUNNIEST THING... I believe the years was 1960-70
I actually am related to Art Linkletter, I believe he is a 4th cousin. I met him at a family reunion when I was young. It’s definitely a question I was asked by every school teacher growing up but I don’t get it very often anymore. I’m always happy to talk about him, he was a lovely man. 😊
Wonderful video series. Just 2 questions if you would be so kind. Am I correct that you use the Crown Grooming Powder as the baby power you mix with chalk 50:50? There's been a lot in the news about baby powder & cancer. Secondly after the show do you clean any of the texturizers etc. out of their coat or just let it dissipate? Thanks
Hi Bob, I actually mostly use a corn starch based baby powder because of those risks, I should have mentioned that in the video. It works just as well. The crown royal power is premixed so you can use it as is. It works great, I just go through so much of it while showing it gets expensive... I do use the Crown Royal, Magic Touch concentrate as a grooming spray. I bath all of my dogs after a show, the products can cause breakage and matting if left in, especially those with a softer coat. Hope that helps, good luck and hopefully we’ll all be back showing soon! 🤞🤞
@@linkridgeshelties7413 Thanks soooo much for the quick and thoughtful reply. Just one follow up question on the 2nd part of your answer above on cleaning dogs after a show. What do you do if you have back to back shows (i.e. Friday/Sunday or Sat/Sunday) or are on the road and bathing is not easy to do. Thanks again for responding. :)
Wondering why the whiskers are cut off?
Hi Cate, the whiskers are trimmed to give the muzzle a cleaner look. It’s not mandatory and you can leave them on if you prefer. I just find I end up cutting them when trimming the rest of the head so it’s easier to just remove them. They grow back quickly and I leave them when I’m not showing. My dogs all have long whiskers at the moment as we don’t have shows in Canada! Hopefully we’ll have some this summer. 🤞😊
I am crying as I watch this, this sheltie looks just like my boy "blue" who I lost due old age a. Couple of years ago I loved him more than like itself, I. Miss him so much, see you in heaven my love.
I’m so sorry you lost your boy, they really don’t live long enough... 💔
its far from natural
You have a beautiful Sheltie that's my favourite color
Thank you! She’s a beautiful girl, hopefully we will get to some more dog shows next year 🤞🤞😷
I would LOVE if you started making daily or weekly youtube videos like Sensa Tempo Cane Corso except with Shelties, where you share videos of your dogs and puppies and discuss their behaviour, your breeding plans, how you select dogs to join your program, and anything else
Hey Andrea, I’ve definitely thought about doing something like that. I just don’t have much going on dog wise at the moment... no shows or litters of puppies. Lots of just being dogs and getting dirty! Lol I am planning a possible litter though, maybe I’ll start doing a bit of filming of the process, thanks for the idea! 😊

AWFUL
why?
Any suggestions on where to purchase the shampoo and conditioner you have listed? I’ve searched Amazon and Pet Edge but no luck there. Thx!
could use a little more sound.
Been looking for this for 2yrs! Thank you!
Shes so still when washing her face. My sheltie freaks every time. Any tips?
Some really don’t like it and the more they fight it, the worse the experience is for them. Shelties, luckily, have long noses that you can hold! I hold their nose and point it down so the water runs off and doesn’t get in their eyes, ears and nose. Turn the pressure way down and start behind the ears and work forward. Lots of positive reinforcement and don’t be in a hurry. If they really fight this try a sponge until they relax a little. Hope this helps 😊
