Customer Review: good for groomers not Kennel Clippers
IF 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.
Customer Review: Not great, but not bad either.
I use this book for my clients to look at while picking their dogs new hair cut. The book leaves out some breeds but covers most, and has faily good drawings. There still are better books out there.
