Bichon grooming is much more of an art than a science. A groomer has an artistic eye toward styling the dog's coat and can take the dog's body structure into consideration when making decisions. They then use this knowledge to create a cut that beautifully highlights the dog's build. It is important to know this when learning to groom your Bichon. In this article we will look at one basic style of Bichon cuts, the Lamb Cut, and talk about specific tips and strategies to make your dog look great.

Before we get into styles and grooming tips, it should be noted that the Bichon needs to be thoroughly washed and detangled before grooming. Bichons are notorious for having tangled, matted hair so please be sure to clean and brush the dog before attempting the cut.
