How to shave a Border Collie? First, shave off the excess hair on the lower jaw and the hair around the lips. Be careful not to shave the beard; then comb the hair on the four legs smoothly and trim the hair according to the outline of the legs. Trim the long hair; the hair on the soles of the feet and between the toes must be carefully trimmed with small scissors. The hair on the soles of the feet will affect the activities of border shepherds, so they must be trimmed in time.

1. Mandible: The long hair on the lower jaw is not only useless, but also affects the appearance of the face, so the excess should be shaved off.

2. Eyebrows: When trimming eyebrows, the scissors should not be pointed at the eyes to avoid hurting the eyes when the shepherd moves around.

3. Lip edges: The hair growing under the lips should also be shaved off. When pruning, hold down its lips first to avoid injury if it suddenly moves. Be careful not to cut your beard blindly, as it is an important detector of the border collie.

The legs are the most easily soiled part of a Border Collie. If the hair on the feet grows too long, it will not only be inconvenient to walk, but also easily contaminated by dust and germs. Therefore, you should trim the hair on your toes and the long hair on your toes to keep them clean and comfortable.

1. Toes: Use small scissors to trim the hair on the toes to a length that can cover the nails, so that the hair tips just touch the ground when walking. Then use clippers to trim the hair growing between the toes into a natural round shape.

2. Front legs: Use a wooden comb to straighten the hair, and use small scissors to cut off the excessively long hair. In order to make it look more natural, don't cut them all to the same length. Adjust the trimming length appropriately according to the outline of the leg.

3. Hind legs: If the hair on the hind legs grows too long, it will give people a heavy feeling. Just use clippers to trim it into a natural shape. But be careful not to cut too much and pay attention to the overall balance.

The soles of the feet are a part of the Border Collie's heat dissipation, and a lot of hair will grow between the gaps between the meat balls. If this part of the hair grows too long, it will cover the meat ball, making it difficult for the Border Collie to stretch and retract freely when walking, and it is easy to slip and fall when walking on smooth ground, and it is also not conducive to heat dissipation.

In addition, if the hair on the feet grows too long, it is easy to absorb dust and dirt, or it may be stained with a lot of water when walking in humid and water-filled areas, creating conditions for bacteria to breed, thus causing skin diseases. Therefore, excessively long foot hair should be trimmed frequently to keep the feet tidy. The hair on the feet grows very quickly, so every time you trim it, try to trim it to the shortest possible length, but be careful not to cut the skin, and fix the feet before trimming. In addition, the meatball itself also has a lot of hair, so don’t forget to trim it.

When pruning, use small scissors to cut off all the long hair that grows from the toe tips and covers the fleshy balls. When cutting, use your fingers to push the meat ball to the left and right to confirm the position of the hair, and then use scissors to cut off the long hair against the edge of the meat ball to avoid hurting the toes.
