9 year old female Black Russian Terrier
Notes: Raeven’s owners asked for a shorter cut than their usual style, but still in keeping with the breed standard. Her nails were long but soft; one on her left front paw broke and a small chuck split off. Neither the nail nor quick were damaged, however for her next groom I suggest grinding her nails instead of cutting them. Raeven was tired by the end of her groom, but behaved very well throughout.
