Spitz can be recognized by the rich and thick coat. Wool for a dog is a matter of pride and an indicator of he alth. It is she who gives the spitz the appearance of a small fluffy lump. In a baby Spitz, the thick undercoat lifts the guard hairs and gives the impression that the dog is constantly combed. Moreover, the better the coat, the longer and thicker the undercoat becomes. With such a coat, the Spitz is not afraid of any frosts.

Often, the chic look of wool causes fear in those who would like to have such a pet at home. After all, one gets the impression that caring for such a fur coat is very troublesome and burdensome. Of course, in order for a pet to evoke admiring glances of others, its coat must be looked after. But constant care for the "hair" is not about Spitz! In the house on the carpet there are practically no even fallen hairs, because the dense undercoat holds the guard hairs well. Although one of the types of hair care,which without fail requires a spitz - a haircut or grooming.

The Pomeranian's coat is almost non-matting, except in some places, such as the groin, ears, armpits and the space between the fingers. It is interesting that the coat is always stroked and processed against its growth, that is, from the tail to the head. When grooming, this should be especially taken into account.

Grooming the Pomeranian is carried out mainly for the convenience and neat appearance of the dog. Her hair does not grow constantly, like human hair, but grows only to a certain length. But in order for the dog to always look well-groomed, she needs to cut off her extra hairs.

No matter what kind of "hair" a Pomeranian has, a haircut can be purely symbolic. The protruding hairs on the ears, paws and around the anus are usually trimmed. Blunt-tipped scissors are used for this procedure.

To give the ear a rounded shape, the owner of the dog can cut the hairs that grow along the edges of the ears. Extra hairs on the tips of the ears and inside the auricles can be plucked. Then the shaggy little handsome man's ears will protrude from the "thickets" of lush wool.

Thinning scissors will help thin out the hair on the back a little at the base of the tail so that it can curl beautifully and gracefully. It does not hurt to carefully cut the dog's ugly protruding "feathers" on the sides or withers so that they do not spoil the look.

This will be enough to make a Pomeranian whose haircut wearscorrective nature, always looked neat. In this form, the dog can participate in any exhibition and create a pleasant impression of himself.

But to cut a dog in a special, stunning way, special skills are required. You need to contact the salon to specialists who are engaged in grooming dogs. Then the selected extravagant haircut of the Pomeranian, the photo of which can be picked up in numerous magazines, will become a kind of "business card" of your pet. Although stick to one piece of advice given by experienced Spitz owners: never cut your dog "naked". He may never grow hair again and lose all his attractiveness.

There are situations when the owner himself decides to grouping. In this case, he needs to know at least the basics of cutting, and how the Spitz behaves during this procedure. Haircut usually starts from the head.

The tips of the ears are trimmed first - this is the most difficult part of the whole procedure. After all, if the dog is not accustomed to it, then you can easily cut off the Spitz's ear. The best way to avoid such damage is to pinch the skin of the dog's ear between your thumb and forefinger. Then you need to mentally imagine a ball around the head and cut off everything superfluous that crawls out of this “ball”. To make the coat look more voluminous, but not look too heavy, cut off, looking straight at the dog, the extra “feathers” on its shoulders.

The chest hair should be combed up and cut at an angle towards the paw. Then cut off the protruding hair in the area of the diaphragm. To make the tail lay beautifully, we cut off part of the wool under the tail. The next step is to make the paws neat. You can cut the hair so that the paw takes on the appearance of a cat or rabbit. Well, the dog has become beautiful and well-groomed.
