We like them to look and feel clean

· We don’t want them to smell

· Grooming our dog gives us pleasure and relaxes us

· It helps get rid of parasites

· They look nice when they are well groomed

· They are a breed that needs to be groomed a certain way to look right

· If they have long hair clipping them off short keeps them cool.

· Clipping them makes them easier to wash and look after.

· It helps to keep their skin healthy

· It’s a way to show we care about them, and to bond with our dog
