Schnauzer grooming involves shaving the back and simply trimming the legs, leaving only the hair on the head and the beard. The standard grooming style typically shaves the hair on the Schnauzer's back, trims the leg hair, and cuts the hair on the feet. The head should only retain the eyebrows and beard. The key to this style is keeping the short-haired parts very short and contrasting sharply with the long-haired parts. Retain the hair length on the belly and legs, giving the appearance of wearing little "clothes," which highlights the Schnauzer's lively exterior. At formal occasions, this style appears elegant and ladylike, while outdoors, it looks charming and carefree. However, not everyone likes a big beard. When the long hair on the Schnauzer's eyes reaches below the eyelids, it can irritate the eyes, causing excessive tearing. The hair on the mouth can also catch food, and sometimes the Schnauzer may accidentally eat its own fur.
Schnauzer Facial Trim Tutorial:
Trim the hair on the cheeks and corners of the mouth shorter and moderately trim the hair on the muzzle, cheeks, and jawline to maintain an overall neat appearance. Once the facial trim is done, proceed to trim the body to complete the grooming. Ensure all trimmed areas present a clean and harmonious look, giving the Schnauzer a tidy and stylish appearance.
