Brushing Side One (cont.)

	Step 3 – Brushing Side One (continued)
	Foreleg Next Next, you will take your hair-holding hand and move as much of the foreleg feathering, of the dog’s left foreleg, you can up the leg and then pull it back through with your brush-holding hand.
	Do this as you progress up the foreleg until you have all the feathering brushed through. Pay close attention to your dog’s arm pits as hair tends to mat in this area.
	Next, take the large steel comb and comb through the foreleg feathering and arm pit hair a second time until you can pull the comb through cleanly without any tangles.
	Front Foot and Pastern Next take the small comb and comb through the shorter hair on the front foot, pastern and short front leg hair. Comb out the hair between the toes.
	Hock Next take the brush again and in your hair-holding hand, grasp the hock
	hair pressing it against the hock then with the brush, comb the hock hair out.
	Then take the large steel comb and comb through the hock hair. Finish the hock hair and rear foot hair with the small steel comb.
	Remember The Object Is To "Add Loft" To The Coat Remember, in all of this grooming the object is to comb the hair away from the skin and out, so when combing the hock and leg hair, comb it up and out against the grain, rather than combing it down and pressing it closer to the skin.
