10-Short Legged Terriers

Module 10 – Short-Legged Terriers covers the unique characteristics, health concerns, and grooming techniques specific to these small but fearless breeds. These terriers are built for hunting in underground dens, with strong chests, flexible bodies, and short legs that aid in digging. Grooming safety is essential due to common health issues like luxating patella, intervertebral disc disease, and collapsing trachea, requiring careful handling and proper positioning during grooming. The module also details breed-specific trimming techniques, including the carrot-shaped tail, rectangular head profile, and beveled or round foot styles, ensuring a polished and professional finish.
