Satsuma's hair is very thick and long. Satsuma needs to be trimmed and groomed according to time and rules. At the same time, it is also necessary to ensure that Satsuma's hair is not too long. Let’s learn how to trim Satsuma hair.

1. First grasp the footsteps lines. Round shape, no fingernails or soles exposed.

2. Back line: The back line is horizontal, and the front is cut slightly behind the vertical extension line of the elbow (that is, the shoulder blade is slightly behind). Straight line from forequarters to hindquarters.

3. When the Satsuma grasps the rear line, it should be trimmed exaggeratedly, and it should be cut into an arc from the root of the tail to the seat joints. If the dog has long legs and short limbs, lift the sitting joints upward during trimming to compensate for the shortcomings.

4. For the hindquarter lines, cut from the inside of the hind legs first to make a straight line. On the inside of the hind legs, cut diagonally to the direction of the instep. The length of leg hair is determined by the length on the foot, and is cut upward. The hock is straight.

5. Waist and abdomen: Bichon has no waistline and is the same length from back to front. The abdominal line is close to a horizontal slope, and the chest should not be lower than the front elbow.

6. There is a straight line from the sternum to the outside of the thigh, and the inside of the front leg is also a straight line. The space between the legs is naturally connected to the waist and abdomen, and the back of the front legs is straight, but should naturally slope down. It should be a straight line from the throat node to the sternum, and the length should be slightly shorter. Since the emphasis is on the head, the chest should not focus on the shoulder blades to the upper wrist bones. A slight arc is enough when trimming.

7. Head trimming: Comb the hair on the head back and cut the entire head into a circle. The nose is the center of the circle of the entire head. Cut the hair with the nose as the center. When trimming the face, press the hair on both ends of the nose with your hands and make it level between the eyes. Cut the hair on the head layer by layer in a V-shape. Each layer is slightly longer than the previous layer and is in line with the end of the eyes. Distance 0.6-0.3CM. Cut into a horizontal line starting from the throat, and only the head can be seen from top to bottom.
