Comprehensive and comprehensible, this is the widest-ranging work ever on canine beauty culture. Here is the history and development of dog grooming from the beginning to its present sophisticated state. Here are the Basics and the Tricks of the Trade — the little secrets that make the big difference in the finished product. The Stone Guide to Dog Grooming For All Breeds includes grooming instruction for all 125 AKC recognized breeds, mixed breeds and even cats! There are chapters on equipment, setting up a shop and developing a thriving grooming business. This reliable guidance shows how to get the most out of a grooming business and avoid the pitfalls at the same time. Dozens of Specialty clubs have contributed show grooming sections for their breeds, and hundreds of to-the-point photos, drawings and charts show what the authors say as they say it. The graphic value of the Stone Guide fully matches the expert text. Whether you are an established groomer, a grooming student, an owner who wants to groom the family dog or a hobbyist seeking information on the professional side of dog grooming, you'll find the Stone Guide a constant, indispensable reference for every question you'll ever have on the subject. Average Rating:
 Rating: - Lisa McVayThis is a very good quality book with lots of helpful information. It could have had a few more illustrations to help with the grooming process, but is very helpful overall. Rating:  - The Stone GuideThis is a good guide for traditional cuts. It gives enough information to get the haircut done. Some of the info is a little outdated, but overall it's one of the books I've used as my "bible". It's definitely a book that should be in every groomer's library. Rating: - GroomingThis is a very excellent informative book on how to groom. I highly reccomend it! Rating:  - NOT TO INFORMATIVENICE BOOK IF YOU ONLY NEED TO LEARN HOW TO BATHE, TRIM EARS OR CLIP NAILS. DOESNT TELL YOU WHAT SIZE ATTACHMENTS TO USE OR WHAT PART OF THE BODY TO USE THE DIFFERENT ATTACHMENTS.ITS BETTER IF YOU HAVE A POODLE, MORE PAGES DEVOTED TO IT. ONLY ONE PER OTHER DOG! Rating:  - good for groomers not Kennel ClippersIF you need a book to learn how to start Kennel clipping, do not buy this one. IF you want to be a groomer in a city and work in someone else's shop then go for it. I do strip clips and summer clips so this book was not very helpful to me in that area.
