Each group of dogs has different traits and characteristics. Knowing these groups will be helpful in understanding what their coat needs. Here are seven major dog groups:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Sporting dogs:<\/strong> historically bred as hunting companions, they\u2019re highly intelligent and trainable. These medium-large-sized dogs are friendly and energetic, requiring much stimulation and exercise. Examples include Golden Retriever, Cocker Spaniel, and the English Setter.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Working dogs: <\/strong>typically large and headstrong, these dogs were bred to complete laborious tasks such as guarding or pulling heavy carts. Larger, powerful builds present unique accommodation challenges. Examples include Great Dane, Saint Bernard, and the Boxer.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Herding dogs: <\/strong>a division of working dogs, herding dogs are fast, strong, and agile. These highly intelligent, obedient, and energetic dogs were originally bred for, you guessed it, herding. Examples include Border Collie, Belgian Sheepdog, and the Australian Shepherd.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Terrier dogs<\/strong>: terriers have strong prey drives\u2014they were bred to kill rodents and small prey. They are stubborn and often have difficulty getting along with other dogs. Examples include the Australian Terrier, Border Terrier, and the Bull Terrier.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Toy dogs: <\/strong>these small but energetic dogs are often mini versions of larger breeds. These loyal dogs are exclusively bred for human companionship and love attention. Examples include Chihuahua, Pomeranian, and the Toy Poodle.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Hound dogs: <\/strong>originally bred for hunting, these dogs have a heightened sense of smell and endurance. Despite being in this group, some hounds are slow and sedentary. Study up on the individual breeds! Examples include Bloodhound, Beagle, and the Greyhound.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Non-sporting dogs: <\/strong>the non-sporting group categorizes breeds that don\u2019t fit into the other dog groups. Dogs in this group have unique traits, temperaments, and characteristics. Examples include Dalmatian, Chow Chow, and the Bichon Frise.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n <\/div>[divider line_type=&#8221;No Line&#8221; custom_height=&#8221;40&#8243;][image_with_animation image_url=&#8221;7904&#8243; alignment=&#8221;&#8221; animation=&#8221;Fade In&#8221; box_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; max_width=&#8221;100%&#8221; delay=&#8221;250&#8243;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=&#8221;full_width_content&#8221; full_screen_row_position=&#8221;middle&#8221; scene_position=&#8221;center&#8221; text_color=&#8221;dark&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; top_padding=&#8221;2%&#8221; bottom_padding=&#8221;2%&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243;][vc_column enable_animation=&#8221;true&#8221; animation=&#8221;fade-in&#8221; column_padding=&#8221;no-extra-padding&#8221; column_padding_position=&#8221;all&#8221; background_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; background_hover_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243; tablet_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; phone_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; delay=&#8221;250&#8243;]<div class=\"nectar-fancy-ul\" data-list-icon=\"fa fa-check\" data-animation=\"false\" data-animation-delay=\"0\" data-color=\"accent-color\" data-spacing=\"default\" data-alignment=\"left\"> \n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Coat_types\"><\/span>Coat types:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Dogs have a range of different coat types.

Combination coats refer to a dog having both long and short hairs, rather than referring to texture.

That doesn\u2019t mean you should turn away any clients even if it\u2019s easier. If you have no idea how to go about grooming a dog, here are some of our best tips to help you out:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Examine the dog carefully. Use your hands and explore every facet of their bodies. Ask the dog\u2019s owner about the dog\u2019s background and medical history. When you know which breed the dog resembles, you can make guesses about the dog\u2019s temperament and coat type.<\/li>\n<li>Always ensure you consult with the dog\u2019s owner before you make any drastic stylistic changes from what they\u2019re familiar with. Discuss the types of cuts the dog has had in the past. What worked? What didn\u2019t work? Did the cut and style complement their lifestyle? You\u2019ll combine what the owner can tell you about its behavior with your own professional grooming training.<\/li>\n<li>When the dog\u2019s background is unknown, you\u2019ll have to do some detective work. If you see any predominant traits of a particular breed, that\u2019s a great starting point. Of course, you\u2019ll pay close attention to the coat type and characteristics. If the dog has a double-coat, you\u2019ll need to de-shed the undercoat. After completing the health and preventative grooming, your creativity will have a chance to shine!<\/li>\n<li>When in doubt, consult your grooming manual. It\u2019ll detail all the different characteristics you should look for in a coat and build. Determine the dog\u2019s best features and then read up on how to go about emphasizing them. Going with the natural lines for other body parts will allow you to add the right amount of emphasis while keeping the look functional. You may wish to mix and match elements from different breed profiles if they suit the dog you\u2019re working with.<\/li>\n<li>If you\u2019re completely out of ideas, a teddy bear or puppy cut is a safe bet. You can also do a kennel cut! The rest is all up to you and your imagination.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n <\/div>[divider line_type=&#8221;No Line&#8221; custom_height=&#8221;40&#8243;][vc_column_text]Got some advice for beginner groomers?
