[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 335937, member: 968"] We also use flatheads on face & tail, leaving a very small poll hair. Shave front of face up & sides back & down so there is no lines. Shave the very front of the brisket up, with the rest of neck & brisket down, blocking into the shoulder so there are no lines & shoulder is as flat as we can get it. Use Andes to block rest of body. Like tail head FLAT, in line with hips & back. Flatten the hips to make them appear wider. We do not bone legs at shows, although I brush up leg hair & block out like they were boned. I make sure I keep the sides of the hocks as tight as possible. Pet peave is when people clip the tail bald, but don't BLEND the bottom into the bushy part of the tail. I bald the section needed, then clip DOWN into the bushy area to blend it. Hate a provile that the hair sticks straight out 6 inches or so below tailhead. Makes rump line look awful. We blow & show.
