Our 4 yr old OES- Loaf 😍 We have the BEST GROOMER!! She hand scissors entire coat. Worth every penny.

I groom her myself in between- trimming beard, eyebrows, feet, potty trail, bathing every 2 weeks, brush outs every 3 days. Brushing take about an hour- when it’s full on bathing, about 2.5-3 hours lol 😆

Before and after. Unfortunately his paws got super matted so we had to shave them down. He is a happy boy tho! A few weeks back we shaved his torso in matted places and left him with a hair tuxedo 😆 I just keep telling everyone he’s in his teenage rebellion years and trying out haircuts. Love him to pieces but the coat is no joke!

a Doodle! lol 9/10 randoms who stop and try to pet her ask if she's a Doodle. We have been getting her groomed every 8 weeks to keep her coat nice and low maintenance in the heat, so we think that's partially why. We also think people don't see OES that often, so they aren't well informed about the breed and their distinct looks. 😉

They just want to synchronize swim all summer

Our girl has a wicked hot spot and an ear infection … she’ll be just fine but these OESes sure look so sad in their cones!! Like depressed teddy bears. Just had to share 😂 😭
