[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 158317, member: 1963"] Actually, the "breed" clip for the Bichon is very complex as it is mostly done by scissoring and requires that brushing and drying be done a special way to have the hair standing right out from the body so it can be scissored. Bichons are so technical to trim that they are usually one of a the four breed trims a groomer must present to graduate school/apprenticeship. Most pet Bichon's are kept in a "puppy" clip of some sort, which is done with the clippers and scissors. Clipper "burn" isn't usually burning (and any groomer worth his or her salt will have duplicate blade sets for the commonly used blades so they can be swapped out when they get warm). It's more like unto the skin rash some women get from shaving their "whatevers" Dunno about waxing. I gave up on shaving my whatevers (I don't have a lot of whatever to shave--little to no hair) and I've never waxed anything other than a car, so no help there. You can have the best groomer out there and occasionally they will "burn" a dog. Just like we all cut a cat at least once (scary as cat skin is very loosely attached and will open right up like a zipper if cut "along the grain".) [/QUOTE]
