The front legs are generally lightly hand stripped at the front. Try not to leave a line down the side. What I mean by that is a distinct “line” giving the appearance of a separate front and back portion. The hair should sweep around from the front to the back as one. The inside of the legs are shaped with the thinning scissors. Too much left on the inside, when moving, can obscure the movement. Likewise too much length left on the feathering has the same result. Add the two together and we have a lot of flapping hair. If the feathering requires to be trimmed this is carried out by using the scissors. The thinners can remove bulk from the feathering. To achieve this you place the thinners beneath the outside feathering roughly half an inch from the leg, and then one cut at a time lightly thin. Remember and always brush any surplus hair out after every cut. This way you will not take too much out. It’s easy to take it off, but much harder to stick it back on again. Finally the shape from the foot is cut using scissors at an angle. This also cuts down on the hair flapping when walking
