THey are really good. I am also a pro groomer.
My one little comment, don't know what the owner wanted if this was a request. the clean feet on the grey poodle are slightly high (they might be slightly high on the poo/cocker cross it's hard to tell cause it's sitting). other than that they look great, good job

No the owner was pleased that we saved the dog's fur...but..that is how I learned to clip the feet...so you say lower then that, huh?
It's true that I have a couple of poodle owners that want the feet clipped higher especially when it's a bad weather outside...
Thanks for your reply...I really wanted an oppinion from a pro ...because I doubt myself..don't know why. But thanks

poodle feet should be shaved to just below the ankle bone. if you feel the foot their should be bones on either side that stick out just above the foot. you want to shave just up to those bones but not over them
here's a pic or 2 of my poopoos feet.

and a body pic to sho what they look like on all 4 feet (this isn't my poodle it a dog that I groomed)

They all look good. Personally I prefer long haired dogs staying long haired so I liked that last dog better but they've all got coats that can be shaved so they don't look too bad.
However, I did have a bad experience with dog shaving so I'm now like "keep the fur!" etc so don't worry about my opinions, but they definitely all look tons better after you've done your thing! Do you always clip though?

thanks for the advice

who..? Me?
well...yes...it is my favorite job in the whole world...though it doesn't get payed so well around here...so I had to get another job opposite to this one and I don't even like it...anyway..this was my first job (dog groomer) and now I work part-time: in the evening, week days and saturdays...
I just loooooooooove this job. Hope it will work out for me in the future because I don't see myself having another job
