Product Description
The Stone Guide to Dog Grooming For All Breeds presents the broad repertoire of the dog groomer's art for the pleasure and enlightenment of every reader. Comprehensive and comprehensible, this is the widest-ranging work ever on canine beauty culture. Here is the history and development of dog grooming from the beginning to its present sophisticated state. Here are the Basics and the Tricks of the Trade — the little secrets that make the big difference in the finished product. The Stone Guide to Dog Grooming For All Breeds includes grooming instruction for all 125 AKC recognized breeds, mixed breeds and even cats! There are chapters on equipment, setting up a shop and developing a thriving grooming business. This reliable guidance shows how to get the most out of a grooming business and avoid the pitfalls at the same time. Dozens of Specialty clubs have contributed show grooming sections for their breeds, and hundreds of to-the-point photos, drawings and charts show what the authors say as they say it. The graphic value of the Stone Guide fully matches the expert text. Whether you are an established groomer, a grooming student, an owner who wants to groom the family dog or a hobbyist seeking information on the professional side of dog grooming, you'll find the Stone Guide a constant, indispensable reference for every question you'll ever have on the subject.

 My Review November 16, 2009
Amber R. Osmon (southern Illinois)
I didn't think that this book was very helpful at all. All the pictures in it are black and white and VERY basic. Their are ALOT better grooming books that you could buy.

A pretty good book for beginning pet stylists. The book should be updated with the current patterns and care changes for some breeds. Always nice to have as much learning material on hand as possible, so for that I would recommend that you give it a try.
 Very good! April 7, 2009

I already had checked this book at library and was looking for a good price. This book has good info and helps new groomers become familar with breeds and specific grooming for each one.

This is a very good quality book with lots of helpful information. It could have had a few more illustrations to help with the grooming process, but is very helpful overall.
