Why do dogs frequently have matting behind their ears?
@@dovie2blue Maybe cuz owners forget to brush the ears?
You need to tell the owners to pick up their own dog poop in the yard. That is purely disgusting for her to step in it. Then TRACK it inside the home. Gross.
@@boohere2 I mean some of the dogs she has groomed will have little matting other than behind their ears
@@dovie2blue i have a scotch collie. seems to happen a lot on this breed.
mine always gets one behind the right ear. one day nothing, then ''where did that come from''?
She started to trust you. So sweet. She’s definitely not a fan of grooming but she trusted you by the end. You are truly gifted Vanessa. Beautiful Collie. ❤
Vanessa you are the perfect groomer! It’s so hard to find a groomer who actually cares about your dog. I groom my golden doodle every 6 weeks never matted. Still I can’t find a trusted groomer. They cut corners and charge me $135 before tip. I should do it myself!
Of course you make it look so easy!! But I have learned a lot from you!
@@Brandonisfinished some people just don't have the passion for dogs.
I could watch her shave out paw pads, clip nails and tidy up grinch feet all day.
@@JermaineGertseor the passion for doodles as a whole 😂
It is SO hard to care for older dogs with physical issues at home. You did a great job and she's beautiful!
Especially larger dogs and especially if you have stairs!!
Yes, especially easier with small dogs.
@@lindalumae I had a friend with a walk out finished basement. Their dog could get down the stairs, but not up. They'd let him outside and he'd walk up to the front door to be let back in. This let him stay with the family wherever they were in the house. He was such a good dog!
I rarely meet collies. They were popular when I was a child. I am sure they are a lot of work, but so beautiful.
Were you a child of a certain age when Lassie was on tv?
Yes, they've become extinct 😢
There's smooth collies. They are collie in every way, except their fur is shorter... more like a German shepherd's in length, but collie in every other way. 💖🌞🌵😷
@@celesteredding1550they’re just not on the list of most popular pets anymore. Which is a blessing for any breed. The popular ones are overbreed and backyard bred.
I was thinking, Lassie!
I was given one of these lovelies when I was 10 - I left him with mum and dad when I got married and moved to a flat at 22 - he lived for 16 years - after I left home he became my father's shadow. I took care of his grooming whilst at home - not sure professional groomers were very common back in the 60's - I would sit on the steps of the front porch and comb his beautiful sable and white coat - I'd fill a large bag with his fur. His white bib would glisten like silver in the sun and his fur was like silk. He was an extremely gentle, loving and intelligent dog - hie was happiest when the four of us would sit down for dinner and he could sprawl under the table and touch each of us with one of his extremities - his herding instinct fully satisfied. So many beautiful memories and I still shed a few tears when I think of him all these decades later - he was my childhood best friend and my protective brother.
Lovely tale ❤. Our shetland is similar, happiest when her small flock are together. The amount of undercoat still amazes me. You think it's all out. No, same amount again. 😊
Wow a very touching tribute. Left me with a happy tear. Your dear friend reminded me of my dog-brother who passed away away a few years ago.
Your story reminds me of my sweet boy Gabe… he was my angel and my very best buddy… I found him laying in a cardboard box in a Walmart parking lot when I was in college… I took him home with me after going right back into walmart and buying him a bed, some toys and some puppy food… the next day I took him to my uncle who is a vet and got him his shots, dewormed and a flea treatment… Gabriel was a collie/lab mix and a beautiful, sweet sweet boy who followed me everywhere I went… I took him everywhere with me… at night when I went to work, he went with me and slept out in my truck … I went out on my breaks and lunch to let him out to go to the bathroom… after I got married in 2000 he was still my best buddy… my husband once said, "I swear you love that dog more than you love me." I jokingly replied, "it’s not that I love him more… I’ve just loved him longer." 😂 Gabe crossed the rainbow bridge when he was 15 years old… he has been gone for 14 years and I still miss him to this day… I have a 14 year old Bull mastiff named Aliyah and I buried her brother, Hotch last month… he was also 14…I got him a month after Gabriel passed away… I was so grief stricken that my husband drug me to the OKC Animal Shelter and told me to go pick someone out… I came out with a little yellow lab/whippet that I named Hotch…. He was a special boy too… all of my dogs are special in their own way… I miss him very much and she’s a tear every time I think about him and Gabe… it's not fair that they only get to spend so little time here with us …
That’s my Abby❤
Have the same story
Funny how dogs hate the blow dryer, but will always stick their heads out the car window when you're doing 50mph!
Haha,that's hilarious..I never thought of that 😅
Thought about that too and did some research. Its apparently because of the noise, smell and the concentrated heat that a blow dryer has that dogs dont like / hate them.
Noise and heat are kinda obvious, but apparently the air that is blown on them irritates the very high sensitive Odor cells of dogs, thats why they hate it
Its the sound...
@@sthiggs79 - have you ever stuck your head out the window doing 50mph? It's not exactly quiet.
@@mena94x3 I think there is a high pitched sound humans can't hear.
For being so anxious, she was well-behaved. No snapping or biting the dryer, behaved for nails, etc. She was a good girl. 😊
i have s collie like abby [it's a landrace breed known as a SCOTCH collie.
they are not barkers, like the big version, eager to please, and wary of the
water and the clippers, but even tempered.
@@john-o1g9p scotch collies are mixed breeds with a high percentage of rough collie. Unless Scotch collies are part of the European Scotch Collie Preservation Society, they’re backyard bred.
When I'm in the same debilitated condition as Abby, I pray my caregivers are as kind and gentle as Vanessa. Have a blessed day 💖✝
Vanessa* 💙
I'm guessing you mean Vanessa 🙈
@@aesaphyr Oh dear, I'm so sorry! Yes, Vanessa. I'll correct it. Thank you so much 💖✝
I had the same thought! 💖
Are you a collie? If so, how are you typing? :)
Collies and German Shepherds have such beautiful faces.
My friend had a shepherd mix who must have had some collie in him because he had a nose like Abby's. 🙂
💯 agree with you 🤩
She's a beautiful old grand dame.🐶
What a beautiful and elegant lady. One of the reasons I enjoy your channels is your concern for the animals you are grooming. Thank you!
Poor Abby. It's not easy getting old. Vanessa is so wonderful, encouraging and gentle with her.
You said it. Either for animals or humans.
This is why I shaved my 10 yo rough collies. When they spend most of their life laying down and can’t stand for even a basic brushing it’s not about their coat or their looks it’s about keeping them comfortable and clean. (Mine also had periodic seizures and cleaning a long coat on a dog who can’t stand is difficult on everyone). They lived to be just months short of being 12.
I was thinking the same. Really no hair cut. I would think that length is hard to maintain, hence the way she looked when she arrived.
Aww. That was a good idea! Poor things.
Yeah, after a certain age, with certain health conditions, my concern for how the coat might not grow back normally goes way down. Practicality and quality of life are more important. I think you did the right thing. 👍
I kinda windered the same for this lady. Grooming that coat is hard on her. Not having it properly groomed is hard on her. At a certain point, you'd think practical matters would win out for the sake of the dog.
I think she's entitled to be pampered a little, and that should include keeping her coat.
Sadly you don’t see too many Collies today. They are so beautiful and gentle creatures. I had one. She travelled in the back seat of my Camaro from Idaho to Florida. A true angel.
She was nervous, but she was so good! I think she liked the brushing the way she leaned into it. She turned out beautiful
It was a Collie like this lady that taught me not to be afraid of dogs when I was 2. Thank you, Lassie for showing me what wonderful creatures dogs are xxxxxxxxx
Do you realise that they used multiple Collies to play Lassie?
I am a collie owner! My husband and I have had mostly smoothies, but right now we have one rough and one smooth. Most of them were rescues. I am so happy to see this old lady getting such love and care. I don't understand why collies are not popular anymore--they are easy to train, docile, great family dogs, and their coats are easy to maintain when you keep them groomed about once a month. Best dogs in the world!
The height of their popularity was during the TV show "Lassie" in the 50s/60s. Everyone wanted their own Lassie. The show started off in Black & White - imagine that! That's a lifetime & more go!
While the name was female, the actual dog actors were male as their coats & sizes are bigger.
We have one rough and one smooth now too :) and I don't get labradoodles and little white dogs all over the place, and their owners asking me what mix mine are. My rough female seems so small to me, we have always had large male collies in the past.
Probably due to TV popularity they were allowed to be inbred. This unfortunately happens to too many animals.
Testosterone makes men get the bigger, “scarier” dogs..
You can tell she is older just by her face/eyes. Sweet lady. She looks fantastic Vanessa.
The Grand Dame of the collies.Lovely old lady.Thank you Vanessa.
Better to be a rough collie than melancollie.
@@MonkeyJedi99 Who's Mel?
Isn’t that the guy who sang “Jack and Diane?”
@@julianixon416 John Mellencamp?
@@barbarawiddowson635 Wasn't he still using the Cougar part of his stage name for that one?
We have had collies for almost 40 years and at one time we had 5❤ It is the breed of choice. We even had a beautiful Abby. What a beautiful old girl and I appreciate how kind and gentle you were with her ❤
I love the way Vanessa always puts the dog's welfare first. Wonderful job, beautiful dog ❤
Oh wow!!!!! She is beautiful! What a transformation. She has to feel so much better. She knew she could trust you not to hurt her, that’s why she calmed down. You are so sweet with these creatures in your care. ❤❤❤
Oh miss Abby, you're so beautiful, such a dignified lady. I love her!!
She was a senior dog with anxiety, Vanessa you did a collosal job!!!
She's a beautiful old girl & I thought she did well even though she's stressed. I love Collies ❤
She’s such a pretty girl! Our 3 YO rough tri male weighs 65#. Collie’s do pant a lot. He HATES the slicker brush, so I comb him exclusively. He doesn’t care for the blower, either, but we’re working on that.
I was wondering about using the comb. The hair is so long, it seems like the brush would only get the surface? She did look lovely in the end though.
My 7yo Collie is 80lbs lol. She was the runt too!
They do! Very pant-y and drooly. I would constantly try to dry the drool off of her “bib.” (I was 9 - what did I know? 😆)
@@Beth_Alice_Kaplan
Yes, waterfalls of drool:) We would put a towel on the floor under her mouth:)
She passed away 20 years ago. Sweet memories of our unique collie girl...
Only rough collies 😉 My smooth collie doesn't pant a lot, even after playing and running with his rough collie friend. A lot of fur makes a big difference - also in speed 😂
Oh Vanessa! Abby is such a Gorgeous Girl! She is even more spectacular after your kind grooming. Thank you. I had a B&W Aussie rescued at about 8 years old. She had not had good care until she joined our family. Robyn was extremely arthritic and suffered through every groom, even when I combed and brushed her as gently as possible. It is not easy to care for a dog in advancing age and physical problems. But it is so worth every single effort to give as much love and comfort as they can accept. 😇💟
My family had a rough collie in lighter coloring, actually extremely similar to Lassie from TV. She was also a good bit bigger than Abbie, but she loved baths - and hated being brushed. She lived to 11, 12 years old after doing an escape-artist move at 4 or 5 and then running into the street, where she got hit, necessitating a hip replacement. That hip was the *only* part that didn't hurt when she aged. She eventually could not walk around the house or play at all in the yard. I choose to remember her as the brown and white blur able to leap clear over a full size bed.
Abby is a lady. You are always so kind to the animals that you groom, old or young you treat them very sweetly. Abby looks beautiful. 💕🐾
Now she's a smoooooth collie.
lol there is such a thing as a smooth collie
My brother had a smooth collie. They aren’t that common. Pretty dogs.
You've been hit by....
You've been hit by ... a smooth collie dog ;)
@karencox3235 My brain didn't pull up MJ, instead I heard this comment in Sade's voice with a background jazz saxophone.😂 🎷🎶 "Coast to coast, LA to Key Largo..."
@@mujerloba3942 The Smooth Collie is a breed of dog developed originally for herding. It is a short-coated version of the Rough Collie of Lassie fame.
She is absolutely gorgeous. We used to have a rough collie when I was a kid, and she was the smartest, well-trained, friendliest dog I ever had. She was definitely a pure bred. Not sure how Wendy had ended up in the animal shelter, but that is where we got her.
What a stunning dog! All she needed was a caring and compassionate groomer! Hopefully her owners will take her in for more nail trims, so that her quicks shorten up making her even more comfortable. Than you for what you do!
Beautiful old girl. I haven't seen a Lassie type collie in a long time, she's gorgeous.
Your compassionate grooms always really touch my heart. If I would own a fragile dog I definitely would love to have a groomer like you! 😊
A senior and still a beauty❣️
Abby: "Not to be confused with Lassie and her Rescue Rangers..."🤪
She's a beautiful girl, and definitely started trusting you in the drying process, you could see her start to not push forward in the restraint. All things considereal she did really well. You were so good to the elderly lady, thank you for the kindness and respect you showed her ❤
Abby is one beautiful senior girl. So well behaved for the dreaded grooming session. You did a magnificent job on her, Vanessa.
Thanks for taking such good care of her. I had a groomer injure one of my elderly dogs. They didn't tell me, but I could see from the way they were acting and watching her that something had happened. Sure enough, the next day she couldn't stand which led to a series of vet visits and her eventual end. That was 3 years ago and I've never taken another dog to them. Had they just told me I would have understood, she was old and infirm and I'm sure she fought with them, but I think they felt they had to deny it or be held liable.
Thank you for being your kind, considerate, dog lover self. You gave this beautiful, frail lady a degree of comfort she would not otherwise have had! 💕💕💕
So glad she let you brush her. She is so beautiful
What a beautiful collie! My personal favorite! You did such a nice job with her- now she is a proper Princess Abby!
What an incredible job! This "elderly" lady has truly transformed into an eye-catching beauty. Strut your stuff little lady! 😊❤️❤️❤️🐕
This reminds me of Tucker my folks dog,and my best friend who passed away last summer. Rough Collies I freaking adore so many great companions and have wonderful personalities. He was so crazy smart he taught himself how to open doors so on more than one occasion I would have have a light night vistor.
Perfect name!!😍
Good girl, Abby. You've made many of us proud today. ❤ I have a real soft spot for elderly dogs. They're still young at heart but with a body that's no longer the same. I think that's why so many feel so sad when they see an older dog. We see the pup in their eyes, but their legs don't really cooperate anymore. It's also sad they don't live nearly as long as most humans. The world would be a better place if dogs lived to be at least 30. ❤
She was so good at groomong session! A little bit of anxiety but very good mood.
What a sweet ol girl. I don’t think I could stand as long as she did 🤣. I was the first “like” but after 17 minutes you had 1.2K…pretty popular and well deserved.🥰
Abby is a gorgeous Rough Collie ❤ and she was a little nervous during the bath time of the grooming session, but as the rest of the groom progresses she was getting better after you tightened the collar part of the lead while you were trying to blow dry her 😊 The calming toan of your voice and the gentle touch of your hands and heart ❤️ allowed Ms Abby to relax and allow you to finish her grooming session with a wonderful outcome ❤😊❤ Abby might be a 10 year old lady that has mobility issues, but she's still a beautiful Old Dame that represents the Rough Collie Breed ❤😊❤ Thank You Vanessa For Everything You Do For All The Animals ❤🐾🐾❤ and Owners that come to you for Help ❤😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤
Protective of family; good watch dog. Highly trainable and eager to please. Sweet, gentle, and sensitive. High maintenance for their coat and sometimes mental health/anxiety.
I knew a very sweet elderly rough collie when I volunteered at my local animal shelter. She just wanted to hang out with us while we cleaned the outdoor area and she’d rest her head on our leg and wanted to be petted
Abby is a very classy lady. You did one heck of a job. You're so caring and compassionate.❤❤❤❤❤❤
Reminds me of our collie we had when I was a young lass. She's a good girl.
Such a sweet old lady❤
The gentleness you give the seniors is wonderful❤❤❤
I used to brush my rough collie a little everyday he had a lot of undercoat and it was easier to keep on top of it that way.
She looked so nice by the end! She’s a beautiful dog!❤❤❤
Glad you found a way she is beautiful
Abby is a beautiful pup. She did fairly well for her spa session.
I have an 11 year old Sheltie that I got last year. Her coat was pretty rough when I got her, but after a few months of regular grooming and some daily camelina oil, my Abby is in much better shape. Wonderful job with this Abby, as usual❤.
I saw two Shelties (mother and daughter) last weekend. Hadn't seen any in many years. Their owner let me play with them. What sweet, well-behaved dogs.
Thank you for offering a loving and caring home to a senior dog ❤.
Thank you for being so good with sweet Abby. You were very kind and thoughtful of her age and fear. I’m sure she left feeling better to be clean and fluffed up again. I hope she can have a nice long nap somewhere warm for awhile now. Her owner must have been thrilled! Just think of the affection that you enable because after a trip to see you, the animals are a pleasure to snuggle with!
Such a sweet beautiful lady!!!🥰🥰 Vanessa you worked a miracle again, she looks amazing!!! 💖
I think you are so gifted & amazing with dogs! Very impressive and Abby ended up being a good girl!
She looked magnificent at the end. She must have been a real stunner when she was young.
Is that only me or her voice is amazing?
Part of the reason I love this channel is definitely the essence and sound of Vanessa! She's special.
My border collie loves her voice too.. every time I play her videos, she cocks her head lol
Beautiful voice and cute accent
She is a beauty! I love how sensitive you are to fragility and mobility issues.
Abbie deserves all the attention, a real lady. Another great video.
Oh My Stars, she is THE SWEETEST!! this got me right in the heartstrings. I still miss my 2 Collie girls and its been over 14yrs since then went over the Rainbow Bridge😢 had them groomed regularly and their coats were easy to maintain❤
That coat should be awesome when she's done.
Tricolor collies are stunning. She’s beautiful!
She's being very good and I hope she gets a nice break before the blowout
I absolutely LOVE collies because my childhood dog was a female rough collie named Buffy. They will forever have a special place in my heart! ♥️ 🐾
I’ll bet she feels so much better after your gentle touch. 🥰 Like a new woman! 🙏
I just thought of Shaniah Twain's song "Man! I Feel Like a Woman!" when you said that. 😂🤪
You are such a kind groomer and take such care with elder dogs… kudos to you … compassion for animals is a great quality to have as a human being
Collie, from Scottish "colley" = "black", as the first dogs were of black color.
They can weigh about 29kg, but mostly they are medium-sized (max 61cm for males, 56cm for females). Plus extremely long coat is not suited for herding (we don't see them working, but border collies we do).
So I would say this dog is very close to the ideal working type.
Ever since I was a child I have always loved collies. That’s thanks to Lassie. When I was in my 40’s my husband and I got two collies; a sable girl we named Chelsea and a tri-colour boy we named Churchill. They were the joy of our lives. They were both over 70 lbs with gigantic, beautiful coats that I groomed myself. My husband used to take them for long walks and the whole neighborhood would come out to greet them. Especially the kids. They have all passed now, including my loving husband. I hope he’s spoiling them rotten somewhere peaceful. 😊😢
Abby looks gorgeous Vanessa. As a senior Queen like she is, she deserves the very best and you gave her that. One happy dog and I am sure one very happy owner ❤
Love watching a compassionate groom. Great job on Abby and your pink manicure is adorable.
She's beautiful.
Vanessa. - Thank you for helping this poor, anxiety ridden senior Collie❤. She made it thru the bath & blow-dry without "dying" and turned looking beautiful. ❤. Sure hope her owner appreciated the groom job you did!! 😊. God bless....❤😊
She is so pretty even at the start!
Collies are so smart and sweet. They were very popular when I was a kid because of Lassie. You did a great job with this old gal.
You are such a good kind person… I will be listening to your new podcast!
Am sure her owner was delighted! She looks gorgeous! Thanks for all you do!!
Sweet little lady. No collies dont get as big as you described. I haven't seen any for quite some time. Beautiful dogs
God my rescue rough collie was a nightmare to groom. His coat was so much thicker than Abby’s, just ridiculous but he fought me every brush stroke! He was an utter sod but I’d have died for that dog.
She is absolutely gorgeous ❤. You definitely have a gift for this 😊❤
I was just thinking today that I don't think I have seen you groom a Collie yet, and here we go! 🤗 This is such a gorgeous breed. She is such a gentle, beautiful lady. ❤ She was so well behaved and didn't make a sound!
You're inspiring me to groom our Sheltie today---who is very large for a Sheltie (33 lbs.) so yes, genetics can apparently have a wide range!
What a dignified lady! Thanks for giving her grace. 🙏
I love collies! Shame I rarely meet them.
❤ So cute and beautiful!❤️🤍🐾😻🐺🐶
💕💗
Abbie is adorable! It's clear that she's well cared-for from her condition. You also did a great job on her!
My uncle and cousins had a "rough collie." I didn't - nor did they - know that's what he was. Gosh he was a good doggie. Wicked smart. Super good dog. Toward the end of his life he started running sheep on a neighboring farm. Some part of his instinct to herd them went awry and he killed a few of them. He was shot. Bout broke my heart when I learned this. RIP old Sam. You were kind to a little girl.
I'm so glad that my doggo (a rat terrier) is a short haired heavy shedder and that he likes getting showers in my bathtub. I frequently give him a shower when I get a shower myself. Luckily, he dries himself off after I put a towel on the floor and on the bed and he just goes snuffling and rolling in the towels till he's dry enough (and I'm dressed) and then he wraps up into a blanket on the bed with me for an after shower snooze (because I have several severe chronic illnesses and I get easily fatigued after minimal exertion).
What a gorgeous transformation!
Such a sweet little ol' lady. Bless her...
What a mature beauty! ❤
I take my Great Pyr to the vet for a nail trim every 3 to 4 months because I am concerned that he would grow extended nail quicks. It also keeps him accustomed to visiting the Vet and the Staff. And the Vet does an excellent job. Costs less than $20 per visit.
She beautiful tricolor rough collie
I had the privilege (?) of bathing a rough collie once and they are just SO sensitive. Not that other dogs aren't, but he was wailing and woo-ing the whole time despite my being gentle and comforting. I just want to hug every collie!
Such a beautiful old gal!!
We have a 3.5 yr old rough collie, the runt of the litter at 40 lbs. She HATES to be groomed! Our neighbors step outside to see what all of the dramatic yowling is about.
Nothing to see here, just a wash and blow dry. 😆
She did great. Thanks for featuring this lovely lady!
Your talent is amazing. Ability to read a dog is vital in so many ways. They do talk to us you just have to hone your senses.💕💕
