Dog Breeds We Groom

From tiny terriers to large retrievers, we have the experience and expertise to groom your dog to perfection.

At Honourable Dog Grooming, we welcome all breeds and mixed breeds. Kelly has extensive experience grooming dogs of every size and coat type, from silky-coated Yorkies to thick, curly Poodle coats. Below are some of the breeds we most commonly work with, though we are always happy to groom any breed.

Breeds We Specialise In

Perfectly groomed fluffy white Bichon Frise on a professional grooming table

Bichon Frise

The Bichon Frise has a beautiful, dense curly coat that requires regular grooming to prevent matting. We offer breed-standard trims as well as pet-friendly styles that keep your Bichon looking fluffy and adorable. Regular grooming every 4 to 6 weeks is recommended to keep their coat in top condition.

Beautifully groomed Shih Tzu with a decorative bow in its hair

Shih Tzu

Shih Tzus have a luxurious double coat that can quickly become tangled without proper care. We provide full grooms including the popular "puppy cut" and traditional longer styles. Their face, ears and around the eyes need particular attention, and we take great care to keep your Shih Tzu comfortable throughout.

Elegant white Standard Poodle with a classic continental clip standing in a park

Poodles

Whether you have a Toy, Miniature or Standard Poodle, their distinctive curly coat needs professional attention. We offer a range of clips from the classic lamb trim to the sporting clip. Poodle coats grow continuously and don't shed, so regular grooming is essential to prevent mats and keep the coat healthy.

Beautiful Lhasa Apso with long flowing honey-gold coat sitting on a cushion

Lhasa Apso

The Lhasa Apso has a long, flowing coat that demands regular brushing and professional grooming. We can maintain a full, natural coat or provide a practical shorter trim that's easier to manage between salon visits. Their coat can mat easily, particularly around the ears and underbelly.

Beautifully groomed Yorkshire Terrier with silky steel-blue and tan coat

Yorkshire Terrier

Yorkshire Terriers have a fine, silky coat that is surprisingly similar to human hair. Regular grooming keeps their coat gleaming and tangle-free. We offer everything from a smart breed trim to a short, easy-care style. Yorkies also benefit from regular nail trims and ear cleaning during their salon visit.

Happy golden Cocker Spaniel sitting in a sunny garden

Cocker Spaniel

Cocker Spaniels are one of our most popular breeds to groom. Their gorgeous feathered coat needs regular attention to prevent knots and tangles, especially around the ears, chest and legs. We provide full grooms with hand stripping or clipping options depending on your preference and your dog's coat type.

Cavalier King Charles Spaniel with Blenheim coat lying on a soft blanket

King Charles Spaniel

The Cavalier King Charles Spaniel has a beautiful, silky coat with feathering on the ears, chest, legs and tail. Regular grooming keeps their coat looking elegant and prevents uncomfortable matting. We provide gentle grooming sessions that these affectionate little dogs thoroughly enjoy.

West Highland White Terrier standing on a grooming table after a fresh trim

West Highland Terrier

Westies have a distinctive double coat — a soft, dense undercoat with a harsher outer coat. Hand stripping is the traditional method for maintaining their coat, and we are experienced in this technique. We also offer clipper trims for pet dogs. Regular grooming keeps their white coat looking bright and clean.

Cross Breed Dogs

Cross breeds and designer breeds such as Cockapoos, Labradoodles, Cavapoos and Sproodles are always welcome. These mixed breeds often have unique coat types that require a tailored approach. We assess each dog individually and recommend the best grooming style and frequency to suit their particular coat.

Other Breeds

The breeds listed above are those we groom most frequently, but we are happy to welcome dogs of all breeds and sizes. Whether you have a Golden Retriever, a Border Terrier, a Schnauzer, a Maltese or any other breed, we have the skills and experience to give them a professional groom.

If you have a breed with specific grooming requirements or a dog that is nervous or reactive, please get in touch beforehand so we can discuss how best to accommodate your pet.
