I'll watch that link. For any negative people commenting, just forget them. You explained everything perfectly. A perfect reminder of our own dogs finding "That One Mud Puddle", in what we thought was a perfectly clean field.
To be fair. King Shepherds had the German Shepherd "drive" and "edge" bred out of them. King Shepherds are not working dogs and were bred to be more relaxed and calm
I can tell she isn’t neglected or abused- she was sweet and calm and very happy and affectionate to you and her owner. No signs of being malnourished or abused…she’s just living her life running around outside! What a sweet sweet girl! I love her!
You can tell she’s used to bathing. Her owners probably groomed her until the fur got out of control, which is not uncommon for double coated dogs. The typical dog owner doesn’t possess the products that Vanessa has.
When I was a kid, we lived on a large property, and our rough collie lived her best life running around that place. If she had a bath, within half an hour her hair would be full of grass seeds, hay, cow poop and mud, and her face would be as happy as could be lol
That was my response when I got my cat back from the ultrasound vet. He was relaxed, calm and happy. He's never been like that after a vet visit. I gave them a great review.
@@SwearMYA few years ago I had the startling realization that some vets are not cat people. Ever since then I've paid attention for vets who like BOTH dogs and cats, and it has made an incredible difference with how everybody feels when we leave the vet.
@lancashirelass1998 Extremely shameful and full of excuses. Imagine not bathing, grooming in ten years, pathetic. Outside dogs need baths as well, not every ten years. If she did this often the dog wouldn't been stressed, and gone through this long ordeal. The dog is Not use to being groomed. Ten shampoos, one for every year she has not been groomed. Poor dog, I feel sorry for this beautiful creature. Everybody don't need dogs.
You'd be surprised at how durable farm dogs are...they literally spend their entire lives running around outdoors. They are usually remarkably in great health right up until the end.
I had Samoyeds. I was told to put my dogs on glucosamine when they got to around 9, and I don't know if it works, but I know my dogs NEVER developed hip dysplasia, and they made it to 16. It's not very expensive, you can buy the stuff they use for horses at a feed store, just throw some in with their food (cooked for my dogs as well).
@@little_swan07 It's possible to love an animal but still neglect it, even if you do so unintentionally. I've worked with rescued dogs and cats and many of them suffered 'abuse through kindness' which is a term for when an owner thinks they are spoiling an animal or treating it well but they are actually doing it a lot of damage. It's unintentional, and it doesn't mean they don't love the animal. They do. But no matter whether it's purposeful or not, their treatment of the animal in question still causes a lot of harm and suffering. :(
The way Smoochie kept shaking her new coat at her owner reveal at the end like "You see this mom, no but like forreal do you SEE THIS" *shakes with all the zest* What a good girl.
A Royal Spa Day for a Princess! And she felt like one❤ What a beautiful dog with a fabulous countenance. Working dogs must have a tireless confidence and big and brave hearts that help them go anywhere. Even the Spa😂!
What a proffesional dog. You know she works. Even when she was uncomforatble, she never snapped or bit, she mostly stayed in place waiting and enduring. What an amazing personality for this beautiful dog. Absolutely amazing.
@@Ophelia_Pain then what is it? if it isnt just a farm dog then is it a city dog? is it a dog owned by the richest man in the world but oh poor baby your being negelcted? please elaborate I'd loveeee to hear more about your adventure and thinking of how you thought this wasn't a farm dog when its a sheperd (although sheperds doesn't have to be farm dogs, but their bred for it anyways)
I think the difference is that she's a King Shepherd which is a German shepherd/Alaskan Malamute and other herding/sledding dog mixes (they vary per breeders I believe) so it's not a pure German shepherd. Definitely agree about the importance of a straight back
please educate yourself before you comment. you are thinking about badly bred gsds. well bred still have some angulation in the back. 'straight-backed' german shepherds are not well bred dogs, and neither are overly 'sloped' back, but they definitely should NOT have a straight back.
@zergiew There are breeders that specifically breed their German shepherds to have straight healthy backs. Vanessa (the groomer in the video) has a young all black German shepherd named Lupa whom is one of these dogs. Her breeder specifically breeds black German shepherds whom are smaller in size and straight Backed and ideal for service dog work. A sloped back has become a part of the breed only due to being introduced into the kennel clubs for dog showing. In reality a sloped back has no practical benefit for working/herding dogs which is what German Shepherds were invented for.
@@amandasnider2644 That's not correct. German shepherds have always had angled backs. they're supposed to be like that as it helps with better movement. You may be able to see some better than others depending on the stack of the dog. Any breeder breeding straight backs are unethical. Vanessa made a video on straight backs and took it down because it was filled with an insane amount of incorrect info and the community told her so. Please go do some more research within the breed before spreading false information on them.
And then, she saw herself in the mirror, previously denied, "What did you do to my hair!?!? I have been growing it for the last 10years and all is gone now ouuuuuu !!! 😉
The less said about “show lines” German Shepherd’s the better. The U.K. and US kennel clubs need to change the standard back to being this healthy working lines German Shepherd size/shape with healthy rear hips/spine.
@@Jonathan_Doe_ I fully agree, however Smoochie is a King Shepherd. The breed isn't recognized by the AKC, so there is no real breed standard. They are huge, though. Females average between 60-80lbs, while males average between 90-130lbs. The size alone comes with the usual hip and elbow dysplasia, though individuals who suffer from it are in the minority.
I just watched this with my 74yr old father, and he was almost in tears at the temperament. He said she reminded him of the Shepard he had as a kind, and her transformation was gorgeous.❤
@@ImmaSaveUFromMe She said, in the video, that she’s a farm dog. I won’t judge the owner because I’ve never lived on a farm, and don’t really know what the day to day looks like.
Owner said she cried in the shower and didn’t like to be brushed. So, she was obviously cared for and they did their best. She was so happy to see her MaMa and that tells you a lot. @@ImmaSaveUFromMe
What a beauty. I love how she automatically stands in that Shepherd stance. Nothing more wonderful than a Shepherd with a lovely temperament like this. She is just living the best dog life.😊
I was a vet tech for a couple of decades. Over that time, we had a few groomers. Never, ever did I see any one of them spend this much time and effort on a dog. What you did for this beautiful dog is amazing! I wish all groomers were as talented as you! 🐾🐾
@@honeybunch5765 sadly, most groomers who work for companies and pressured for quantity over quality. That’s why GWTD is so special: her channel means she can do one dog a day, still make a living, and be thorough. It’s sad but the rate for a really good groom would be nuts if they didn’t have an alternative form of income :(
She's able to spend this much time because she offers this as a charitable service supported by money she makes from her channel and merch. Regular groomers don't have that luxury. I'm sure there are other groomers who would put in more time and effort on each dog if they could
@@DiscipleOfChristTheHighest the groomer lady literally said in the video that farm dogs get like this very easily, and that the owners were looking for groomers who would take the job. Who knows how long that took. It isn't like they left her to get like this over 3 years, this could be 6 months or so.
I wish that was always true. Abused dogs usually cower at the approach of an abusive owner. But I have seen many neglected dogs show joy at the approach of a neglectful owner because they are so forgiving and appreciative of the little love they do receive. (I foster rescue dogs and try to counsel owners; show more love to get more love than you ever imagined.)
@@metalshop7492 did you miss the words "farm dog" and "owner was looking for a groomer who would take the job" in the video? The dog works, she's gonna get dirty. And who knows how long the search for a groomer took and how much dirtier the dog got in the meantime. Let's use our brains before imediately accusing someone of abuse.
I love this comment section so very much!! Not a single negative comment towards this pups hooman or anything like that!!! Just giving love to the dog and groomer! I’ve never seen just a positive comment section on TH-cam and it’s VERY refreshing
she’s not a purebred, and she’s also got an insanely long coat, very frowned upon trait also in breeding. Comments talk enough also about the straight back. But I tell you what, she has a 10 gold star temperment!
The blow out feels amazing to her… she’s scratching an itch that she couldn’t satisfy for years! It definitely felt like the equivalent to a human going to a wonderful day spay getting the works treatment with a full body massage. She is such a sweet dog, lovely temperament and she is beautiful.
@@jolienvsndijk Plus...I don't have a dog to "show". I have it to love and be part of my family. I had mutts all my life and then my new husband and I got full blood Black Labs (Aunt and niece) from a responsible breeder (and good friend). When they both passed we got a Black Lab mix from a shelter. He is no different than our "purebreds". I wouldn't trade our purebreds for the world. They were the best dogs. But all dogs are the best dogs.
The tilting of her head is the cutest act! Like she's asking..are you talking about me?😊 the owner is sweet too. You are a very professional groomer. That's a lot of work right there!
I love how the tiny white sibling at the end looked so confused as the owner was marveling at the transformation. “Why are my feet touching the ground??”
I'm just confused, maybe I missed it but why has she never been groomed when its so calm and well behaved? But the owner has another dog that looks like it gets groomed?
@@honestreviewer-dp6gr maybe the reason being that farm dogs are working dogs and most doesnt need to be extremely clean as they spend their time outside. Some just really needs a shower and doesnt even need their nails trimmed as they basically file they nails on the ground or even a toothbrush as they chew a lot of hard stuff in the farm
Such a beautiful Shepherd! So well mannered. You worked wonders with her coat. And she felt so good afterwards. She definitely is her owners Princess. Thank you, Vanessa, for sharing this amazing transformation. 😍👏🏻🤗🩷
She was so sweet! Not a single bark, growl or bite during the entire video . Not even whining. And at the end with the before and after pictures you can see how pretty she became. And somehow it looked like she not only became younger, but her fur colour became so much more vibrant
I was thinking the exact same thing!! I was waiting for it. It never happened! She is an amazing doggo and she was groomed by an amazing groomer!! ❤My shepherd would have been barking and growling. He hates baths but always tries to get in the shower when I am in there lol 😂
My granddaughter insists that she wants to be a dog groomer. She decided this at 9, she is 14 now. This is still what she wants to do. Should she add vet tech to that? Any advice would be great. Thank you.
The King Shepherd wants her own TH-cam Channel, so she had to be on her best behavior during her debut video. A very beautiful looking Shepherd afterwards.
This is a great example of why I love shepherds. She is very much not enjoying the bath, but she's smart enough to understand you're trying to help her.
They're so smart. My boy stepped in poop this morning and was so cooperative when I told him to get in the tub so I could hose off his feet. He really didn't want to, but he did it anyways.
For an outside working dog I am FLABBERGASTED at how well behaved she was. So calm & no outburst! She turned out beautifully ‼️‼️Job well done by groomer & dog 👵🏻👩🌾❣️
She probably felt much better getting it done. I've never had a double-coated dog go this long between grooming, but even after brushing out the shed hair on a regular basis, I could tell she loved the "lighter" feel. Kinda like when I could finally go to my own hair salon after months and months of Covid lockdown and cut off some of the excess weight 😂
Omg! The way she was leaning into the hair blower was so cool, she was like, "yeah, right there, oh yeah". My God, what a lot of hair! She was so good. And so were you! So patient and kind to her. Loved it!
She is def not a neglected dog! Her temperament and confidence show she is well cared for and well socialized. What an absolutely beautiful pup!!! You did a phenomenal job! All groomers should have your passion! You have a very special gift that not many have! 💜
Not a neglected dog ???? We don't have the same values, this pour dog IS a shame and I am wondering how is the house and the farm where she lives . This kind of owner should NOT exist !!!
@@anniejolu7641nope, not at all neglected. She is gloriously healthy, good natured and a prime example of a herding/farm dog. These kind of sheperds with this coattype are very difficult to wash yourself. Most of the showerheads normal people have arent even powerfull enough to come to the skin because of the richness of the coat. And to dry them afterwards is a whole new nightmare. I’m just hoping it was a shortcoming of perspective from your side….
@@BoschMariekeit’s the owners absolute responsibility to make sure the dog is groomed ! If the owner wasn’t capable then have the dog professionally groomed ! Waiting 10 years is. Deplorable
I don’t care what anyone says ! This is a form of neglect! This poor animal hasn’t had a good groom in 10 years and it clearly showed ! If this groom wasn’t free the owner would have NEVER had this poor animal groomed !
If you've ever seen one of those videos where a barber takes a man off the street, gives him a good haircut and a nice shave and he ends up looking 15 years younger, that's what you just did for this dog. You could see the years on her before, but now, she looks like a young pup again. Truly incredible work.
That is a coincidence. She cannot understand what she said. Dogs can pick up on some words, but in this case there is simply no reason to believe it was ever taught that sentence.
@@FreshToast-qm8ki dogs understand more than you think, they are excellent on picking up tone and physical queues, which is probably what happened here. Stepping back and using an excited tone probably gave her all the communication she needed to understand her bath was finished. moreover, don't most owners teach their dogs the concept of done/over/no more? seems highly likely that she would be taught such phrases.
@@FreshToast-qm8ki Many dogs can understand human words, especially the herding breeds. Dogs have an intelligence of between a 2 to 5-year-old child (an estimation).
About 13 years ago, I adopted a little dog off the street that was just one solid lump of matting, sort of like a fuzzy bowling ball. When shaved, he turned out to be Havanese. The groomer had to assure me that he was the same dog. He's getting old now, but still a sweetheart.
I recently rescued a dog off the street. Sort of good news, bad news with her coat. She's a short hair Border Collie (or maybe Mcnab dog) mixed with Husky. Her coat was in decent shape and after having her professionally groomed and not letting her roll in dirt oil, and whatever other filth she'd gotten into while living rough, her coat basically just renews itself and stays looking so nice she gets compliments all the time. Bad news is that she's just CONSTANTLY shedding, hellooooo Swiffer.
@@saba347 getting a farm dog is not an excuse to not take care of it. Also based on that dogs weight i doubt it actually works and herds livestock. I know many people with actual working dogs that herd cattle and they would be appauled to have their dog in this state.
I feel the fact that she just had compacted fur after 10 years is a testament to how loved and well taken care of she is at home. You really did these owners a huge favor helping them out! It can't be easy having a farm dog with THAT much fur!
We have a Great Pyrenees who is indoor/outdoor (mostly out). I brush her every two weeks at a minimum. It's good bonding time, and it prevents her from becoming a matted mess. Maybe this family could incorporate something similar into their routine. This beautiful girl was so well-behaved, and she obviously knew she could trust you. You are so gentle and kind. Fabulous job. She's gorgeous, and you can tell that she feels so much better! Thanks for the care you took with her. Love and light. ❤
@@LoryConrad I'm sure the owners do bathe and brush the dog, they said so. And she would have been unable to move if she hadn't been brushed in ten years. Only the current coat needed blowing out.
@@barbaramcmillan3835 You are absolutely correct! I didn't mean to come off as snarky or "holier than thou." Thank you for calling me out on this one. 💜
I LOVED how she ran to her mom, squealing, a little bit, and kept fluffing herself, as though she was trying to tell her what she'd been through. YAY, another GirlWithTheDogs success story. And, what a HAPPY client!
Smoochie put a smile on my face. She was so proud of herself when her owner showed up. They obviously loved each other. So glad she didn’t need a shave. 💜
Same here! Not that is was a short time, but no where near as long as I had suspected it would be! I suspect that the good nature of this sweet fur baby helped to keep that time at a minimum!!
Vanessa, you are the living example of the saying “do what you love and you will never work a day in your life”. The satisfaction you get from transforming this beautiful girl into the princess she deserves to be is obvious. I watched the entire blow-out going “no way!” over and over. You’re a miracle-worker!
You are so calm, and collected, your stable tone, and reassurance with them as you go, pets, massages, soft touches! You have a gift! 🎁 You have made a believer out of me, so much so I would love to drive to your shop and come join your team and learn from the cream of the crop of people doing this out there on their TH-cam channel! You're showing everyone that you really can do this work and just how good you are. Your showing people what it takes for the job to get done for difficult dogs and or those with little to no experience of this kind of grooming care, love & TLC! Keep Up The Great Work! 🎉❤
I love seeing how her mood becomes more trustful as she starts feeling fresher and more comfortable. In the end she's just accepts the foot trimmings instead of pulling away.
Imo that dog was neglected and made to live outside due to the heavy shedding. Hence, the little dog is pampered living indoors, as it's a non shedding breed. I'm sure she loves the dog ( king shepherd ) as it looked healthy other than the extremely neglected grooming, no excuse to let that dog get so matted like that.
@texasgirl6000, go touch some grass and get some perspective. That dog is not neglected. If she had been actually neglected for 10 years her mats would have caused raw oozing wounds on her body.
@@whynotnofi8278there doesn’t have to be wounds to show that the dog was neglected. I understand not getting it done professionally every time but not getting her groomed at all OVER 10 YEARS is INSANE AND NEGLECTFUL
The trust she had in you. She knew you were their to help her. Your channel makes me so happy and is so therapeutic. I work in a doggy daycare and love seeing people who love dogs do right by them. You’re amazing.
@@ocesoThe fuck is your problem, I read this comment and thought “that’s the wrong there,” but I didn’t lash out at the person for using the wrong one. How old are you? 12, you’re very immature.
@oceso lmaooo--You have the audacity to call someone out on using the wrong there/ their/ they're, yet you can't seem to comprehend basic capitalization and punctuation? Someone tell scrooge that it's not even December yet 😂 I have a feeling hypocrisy is a chronic, incurable disease for you. Bless your heart
Just WOW❣️ I’m not sure I have the words, except to simply say what an absolute ANGEL this truly beautiful girl Smoochie is. Not one single sign of anger, or frustration etc from her and especially being a beautiful girl who hadn’t been groomed for 10 years, and a long haired, double coated dog at that, is absolutely unbelievable. I personally believe that not only does this video show Smoochie’s most beautiful, sweet nature, but also just how very much she is loved, adored and cared for at home she actually is. I ABSOLUTELY ADORE SMOOCHIE❤️ She certainly is one very beautiful and precious girl, that’s for sure. I love her gorgeous and lovable head tilts also. They get me every time. ANOTHER SENSATIONAL JOB VANESSA. Seriously, you’re an absolute miracle worker. BEAUTIFUL JOB AND SUCH A BEAUTIFUL GIRL, BOTH VANESSA AND SMOOCHIE❤️🥰❤️🥰
A couple things: I cannot believe she is 10 YEARS old! Incredibly well cared for, fed, loved & worked!! She is so beautiful...her markings & color, seriously gorgeous. I love her! What an uplifting video,Vanessa! So good! ❤🐾🫠
leaving your dog extremely matted and very impacted isn't "incredible care". Neglecting the grooming of a longhaired dog isn't something to be praised. And despite what the groomer says I know literally thousands of farmdogs that don't look like this. Well-bred Farmdogs should be shedding out nicely so they can do their work unhindered. A good LGD for example doesn't get matted ever even without grooming.
@@GotAnUmbrellaI have to agree. They're fine caring for the cute white dog... but this magnificent girl was badly neglected. I hope this encourages the owners to care for her now.
I expect that it isn't that they "neglected" this darling shepherd, but more so, don't have the appropriate tools to keep her looking her best! Vanessa went through bottles of "Fluff-Off" shampoo; a shampoo specifically made to help loosen compacted fur. Plus she also used a face wash, and conditioner! Just those special made products can be pricey, and can only be found from Vanessa's store. Then you have the Chris Christensen slicker brush which is not a cheap brush, but does wonders for getting coats brushed out with minimal pulling. Not to mention the high velocity dryer! I've never even priced high velocity dryers, but all pro dryers are quite pricey!! Add onto those expenses the cost of good electric shears (my shears are not great, and yet I paid $80 for then 10 years ago! Also, the cost of the scissors, the nail clippers, etc.! It can be extremely expensive to groom a working dog using the correct tools and products! If you aren't in a position to lay down a bunch of money for all you need to groom your working dog appropriately, then you must find a pro who will do it for you! Groomers who take in little fur babies like the white pup the owner carried in to greet the shepherd are a dime a dozen, but finding Groomers that work with the big fur babies are very hard to find! Those Groomers need special set up for the big babies, and they have to be willing to take all that extra time! I feel like your judgment is based on misguided information! Don't judge other until you have walked a day in their shoes!!!
@@amyralls6218 she looks like this because it's been years without proper grooming. A yearly professional groom would have prevented a majority of it. You don't need Vanessa's brand of Deshedding shampoos, run of the mill deshedding shampoo and good water pressure works just fine. You can find deshedding shampoo for under $15 dollars. the same goes with face shampoos. You are clearly not speaking from experience. Farmers aren't investing tons of money for special brushes and shampoos and haven't for hundreds of years. Dogs were kept unmatted before electricity was ever invented.
That was my point! Most people (farmer or not) aren't going to spend the big bucks to get their farm dogs fur looking like a show dog! You are correct, I do not live on a farm, but I've had a working breed dog, and keeping them looking like show dogs is nearly impossible! Most of the working farm dogs I've met were dirty! This breed of dog happens to have a compressed coat! Compressed coats are difficult to care for! Sure, you can get other shampoos, but remember, even if the shampoo is "only" $15 per bottle, when you have to use a minimum of THREE bottles, you've now spent $45....just on shampoo!!! It isn't realistic that EVERY dog parent knows how to care for theirs dogs' coat! As Vanessa mentioned, the owner thought the dog had bad matting where actually her biggest problem was serious compaction! I hope your future finds you in a position where you can refrain from judging people you don't know, providing others with respect, and, if possible, gently sharing knowledge that will actually help others to be better! You may find yourself a more fulfilled person in the end!
She was an absolute sweetheart throughout the whole grooming session. I just couldn’t believe it. Here I’ve had/have a small dog and they’re just complete monsters. What a difference she is. Well done!!🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
You had me in the first minute or two with those little head tilts. It made me melt. What a beautiful job you did. What a sweet pup. Thanks for all you do.
Stunning job! Totally different looking dog by the end. It's like your groom took 10 years off her, revealing her true colors. Well done Vanessa. Her owner was rightly astonished.
I can't believe how little time (in the long run) it took Vanessa to do this incredible transformation! I suspect the wonderful nature of this darling dog helped in keeping that time short!!
Your heart shines through with how much you really care at one point while you were blowing her down,she looked at you in a way that came across as thank you for helping me feel 8 years younger.i love watching you I don't comment until today that is because this transformation in under 3hrs was absolutely amazing you do a fantastic job an service,much love from England uk 🇬🇧 x🌷💓🌷x
My 13 years german shepherd just died after a stroke. It was painful and in the same time sweet to see this. She was a sweet giant full of love like this one.Hugs to Princess and you for this video! She seemed sooo happy when she was brushed at the end!
Sending you some hugs ❤ Sorry for your loss. I know how you are feeling right now. 😢 We have a saying here; in English it would be something like “Don’t cry, because it is over. Smile, because it was wonderful.” ❤
This bread is incredible. I love ALL dogs, but the Shepherd has a special place in my heart. I owned a Shepherd for 13 years before he left with the angels. They are just incredible. They are so well-behaved, loving, and attentive. My Shepherd, Dutch, was my best friend, my roommate, my partner in life, my everything. He could be a comedian and make me laugh one minute, which tickeled him to death, or would be willing to die to protect me the next. When alone, I often talk to Dutch. I miss him terribly, but I know he will be waiting for me when those same angels come for me. I love your channel. It is like going to class. Your knowledge of breeds, behaviors, and expectations are incredible... and for a dog lover like me, I feel as though I am learning their language. So, thank you.
Yeah, seeing as how she spends more time bleaching and dying her hair instead of her animal - it was def eye opening. If she can’t afford to maintain its health, it’s abuse. She could start by sacrificing her own hair care. Smoothies cleanliness was disgusting and the amount hair that came off was clear neglect.
@@ImmaSaveUFromMe You have terrible listening comrpehension. It is stated clearly in the beginning of the video that this is the first *professional* groom in 10 years. She was groomed by her owner, but it was difficult since the dog didn't like to be brushed and howled in the shower. Farm dogs get dirty within five minutes of getting clean, and if you ever handled a long haired double coated dog, you'd know they start compacting and matting just by sitting down sometimes. Even with shorter haired double coated dogs this is present too, though to a lesser extent.
@@PaladinDansesGirlfriendI'll repeat what I said for the other guy, but you both need to work on your listening comprehension. This is Smoochie's (not "Smoothie") first *professional* groom. She was groomed at home, but she didn't like the brush and , and howled in the shower. But she was groomed. German shepherds were bred to herd sheep. The long coat is to keep them warm while outside and protect them from the elements. Their fur will get matted and compacted even if you do maintain a grooming routine, especially since for some long haired double coated dogs compacting already occurs when they sit down. Obviously her fur was maintained, proven by most of it was just compacting not matting, but if your dog spends most of its time outside working, it will be an uphill battle. She was well tended to, even if she did not look too pretty. But she is not malnourished and obviously well treated and trained from her behaviour and how she loves her owner.
She was so well behaved, and loved the dryer! When you were drying her chest she was like "yeah, thats the spot!" what a sweetheart! and what a transformation!!!!
yeah I was thinking that she seemed to love when she used the dryer on her chest area... but maybe she got a little impatient with how long it took.. dunno if its just me but she seemed a bit snappish by the end xD
It's unbelievable how much fur came off Princess Smoochie! And she still has lots left. She is so well behaved, and looked like she was actually enjoying the blow dryer at some points. She's a gorgeous dog, especially after her groom.
That was so sweet when you said "we're done!", then she shook, and she hadn't shaken until that moment, and she looks so happy! she's like 'what's next?'🐕🦺 What a great dog shepherds are such good companions😊
Wow! She doesn’t look anywhere near 10 years old! She’s absolutely gorgeous! She’s not a princess, she’s a Queen 💕 I loved her owners reaction - absolutely precious! You could see how much they loved each other - just heartwarming to witness. Vanessa, your work is incredible - you put your heart and soul into every animal lucky enough to come through your doors. Thank you for all you do ❤
She's so cute! Those big, intelligent eyes looking at you like "u sure about this, friend?" were killing me. And the owner's reaction at the end said so much!
Wow, what an amazingly well-behaved dog. It's hard to believe it hasn't gone through this process of being handled by a stranger for hours on a regular basis. So calm and happy-looking.
You were correct. Smoochie's transformation is the best so far! And her behavior and temperament were the icing on the cake. Thank you and Smoochie for sharing the experience
She is such a patient, obedient dog. Thank you for explaining how farm dogs can get so dirty. I did not know there were dogs called King Shepherds. I have never seen one with such a long hair! She is absolutely gorgeous!
Wow! Right after the shower during the towel dry, I thought there was nooo way you wouldn't have to shave a bunch. Totally proven wrong! She looks amazing at the end, and she looks so happy!
She's the most amazing beautiful German Shepherd I've ever seen. Rough or groomed I just love her. Deserves a flippin' medal for her grooming obedience. I'll give her an Oscar for dogs. And a FARM dog. Wow.
Matting is thick tangled clumps of hair or fur that is still connected to the skin, while compaction is loose hair that couldnt shed fully gettting stuck in the top coat.@@seanewing204
@@seanewing204matting is kind of like Dreadlocks in humans. It's hair that is still living and connected, but is so knotted up that it can't be brushed out and can only be shaved. In context of this video, compacted seems to be somewhat similar, but is mostly loose, already shed fur that has gotten stuck in the fur. Compacting could likely lead to matting, but if addressed with detailing shampoo and a nice blow dry, apparently will blow right out without too much problem.
Dreadlocks are able to be brushed out with enough patience. And it’s an intentional hairstyle as opposed to matting which is neglected hair that gets too tangled and clumped up to deal with
The way this dog just looks at you or sniffs you to communicate she is getting a bit tired/uncomfortable is so sweet. Just a sensitive and considerate soul. Made my heart melt, and my eyes water at some point 🙃❤
Love watching the dogs you work on starting to realise that this process is good for them and are actually starting to enjoy it! You don’t just have a skill you have a gift. 🤩
I have always been a Shepherd lover and this made me cry a little bit - the love you have for dogs and the amount of consideration and care you put into your grooming is extraordinary. I do not think I have seen such a glorious example of her breed and is clear her mummy adores her.
The woman-type person who created the King Shepherd breed has the ethics of a starving pig. She knowingly bred a dog with TERRIBLE hip dysplasia because he was incredibly beautiful and made the most gorgeous pups. As a result, a lot of very crippled puppies were sold to unsuspecting people. It is entirely out of respect for the author of this channel that I am refraining from using the most vulgar profanity in describing what I truly think of Ms. Shelly Watts-Cross. Please do not let anyone you love purchase a King Shepherd.
What an amazing transformation! She's got an outstanding temperament too -so sweet and patient! I have owned 10 German Shepherds and I believe temperament is so important. She also is so well behaved so compliments to her owner for raising such a beautiful girl!!
Oh my word, I have totally fallen in love with this dog, she is absolutely stunning and when she tilts her head to the side when you talk to her...my heart flips! What a wonderful way you have with her, you were calm and totally in control. Well done.
Her demeanor alone shows how much she’s loved German Shepards are a very tough bread so all you haters relax she has been clearly loved. What an amazing video great job sweetie thank you for sharing so much fun to watch!!😘
@@vaska1999 I think the biggest thing with the haters is when people put forth opinions as facts and try to criticize for not doing something when they already are doing it plenty, ie. blame you for letting a coat get matted and calling it abuse when a dog is well loved and taken care of
Yeah, she is clearly comfortable being handled and even bathed. Clearly that's not pure intrinsic good nature - I've seen abused Shepherds and they were flinchy at best or downright scary at worst. It can be very easy to let a double-coated dog's coat get out of hand VERY fast, especially if they're an adventurous working dog. Hopefully her owners can keep up with a routine that makes these professional groomings only an occasional necessity.
This is incredible, I could feel the dogs relief when you were bathing her and the blowout of hair - she is so beautiful. You really are a miracle worker. Bless you.
Our two girls went from stressed with their old groomer to calm and happy thanks to our new groomer. The groomer and the environment really make a difference. So nice to see this pretty girl in all her glory.
That's good that you switched. All my dogs that I have groomed, when they get out of the car they run to my door. One dog at a time in my shop so I can give them special care.❤
i was a dog groomer for almost 10 years and de-sheds are what i miss the most. they were the most satisfying grooms ever because you know you were actually improving the quality of life for the dogs instead of just making them look prettier.
Your so good with her. Your constantly reassuring her. And this is calming her. She looks Fantastic, like she stepped out of the Salon. She must feel so good, Bless her. Thank you for sharing. ❤❤❤❤ Well done on all your hard work.
You did an amazing job! She was such a good dog. When her owner showed up , she was like “Look what this nice lady did to me.” It was also like she was wanting to come and give you appreciation too. You’re awesome ❤
@@giselefournier5032 Your comment is automatically translated to English for me in Google. Do you not have that option. It should offer the local language.
I still will insist dogs, especially GSDs, are very, very good at reading a person's intentions. This dog knew you were going to help her, groom her and talk nice with her. She was all for it. Plus, being a farm dog, she must know water won't hurt her. I was so amazed though at her reaction to the blower. No reaction at all... except one point where she was clearly enjoying it. Great job!
What a sweet, sweet girl! If that's what "she doesn't like being brushed" looks like, I'm sure she is an absolute joy of a doggy daughter/employee to have. What a blessing she must be to her family, and judging by her mom's demeanor I have hope that they are just as much a blessing to her. Just an overall very wholesome and enjoyable video that really perked up my day. And thank you as always for your tireless work and bright bushy attitutde Vanessa, you are the patron saint of pupperoos 🥰🥰🥰

I'll watch that link. For any negative people commenting, just forget them. You explained everything perfectly. A perfect reminder of our own dogs finding "That One Mud Puddle", in what we thought was a perfectly clean field.
I love owner reaction
@girlwiththedogs212, Vanessa, how does a de-shedding shampoo work to loosen the hair like that?
That blow-out was amazing!
AMAZING
ALL of it!! ❤
The hair just blows off her u didn’t even start brushing
There is nothing like the focus of a well behaved herding dog. Truly. She was so attentive to you throughout this.
I noticed the same thing. Focus.
She looks part bison
To be fair. King Shepherds had the German Shepherd "drive" and "edge" bred out of them. King Shepherds are not working dogs and were bred to be more relaxed and calm
@@SeamHead33Sounds amazing, TBH. I can't believe I've never heard of them.
Impressive work.
I can tell she isn’t neglected or abused- she was sweet and calm and very happy and affectionate to you and her owner. No signs of being malnourished or abused…she’s just living her life running around outside! What a sweet sweet girl! I love her!
You can tell she’s used to bathing. Her owners probably groomed her until the fur got out of control, which is not uncommon for double coated dogs. The typical dog owner doesn’t possess the products that Vanessa has.
Please do keep in mind, she is a farm dog as stated in the video
Beautiful dog and well mannered.
❤
When I was a kid, we lived on a large property, and our rough collie lived her best life running around that place. If she had a bath, within half an hour her hair would be full of grass seeds, hay, cow poop and mud, and her face would be as happy as could be lol
I love how the owner said “and she’s not even stressed.” Great experience for every dog and human.
That was my response when I got my cat back from the ultrasound vet. He was relaxed, calm and happy. He's never been like that after a vet visit. I gave them a great review.
@@SwearMYA few years ago I had the startling realization that some vets are not cat people. Ever since then I've paid attention for vets who like BOTH dogs and cats, and it has made an incredible difference with how everybody feels when we leave the vet.

@lancashirelass1998
Extremely shameful and full of excuses. Imagine not bathing, grooming in ten years, pathetic.
Outside dogs need baths as well, not every ten years. If she did this often the dog wouldn't been stressed, and gone through this long ordeal. The dog is Not use to being groomed. Ten shampoos, one for every year she has not been groomed.
Poor dog, I feel sorry for this beautiful creature. Everybody don't need dogs.
For a ten-year old shepherd she's still moving around very well. Definitely well cared for and living a happy life.
You'd be surprised at how durable farm dogs are...they literally spend their entire lives running around outdoors. They are usually remarkably in great health right up until the end.
I thought the same! I almost forgot she was 10 until Vanessa mentioned it again near the end of the video.
I had Samoyeds. I was told to put my dogs on glucosamine when they got to around 9, and I don't know if it works, but I know my dogs NEVER developed hip dysplasia, and they made it to 16. It's not very expensive, you can buy the stuff they use for horses at a feed store, just throw some in with their food (cooked for my dogs as well).
The excitement the dog had when she saw her owner shows that she is 100% not being abused or neglected
She is clearly loved and taken care of
It’s still neglect to let her hair and or skin get like this unfortunately
@@nyancatnyangirl the groomer literally said that farm dogs get like this easily and doesn’t mean they have a bad owner
@@nyancatnyangirl I Agree with you. Some of these ppl obviously haven't experienced anything from another point of view.
@@little_swan07 It's possible to love an animal but still neglect it, even if you do so unintentionally. I've worked with rescued dogs and cats and many of them suffered 'abuse through kindness' which is a term for when an owner thinks they are spoiling an animal or treating it well but they are actually doing it a lot of damage. It's unintentional, and it doesn't mean they don't love the animal. They do. But no matter whether it's purposeful or not, their treatment of the animal in question still causes a lot of harm and suffering. :(

They still kinda did.😅🤷♀️ you know Intermet Comments, those people "Know EVerYthInG"🤦♀️ Random Experts on the whole damn world.
Um I beg to differ on the neglect. I have done many rescues. This isn't a "Farm dog"
It isn't what it is just FYI
@@Ophelia_Painyou’re ignorant
@@Ophelia_Pain then what is it? if it isnt just a farm dog then is it a city dog? is it a dog owned by the richest man in the world but oh poor baby your being negelcted? please elaborate I'd loveeee to hear more about your adventure and thinking of how you thought this wasn't a farm dog when its a sheperd (although sheperds doesn't have to be farm dogs, but their bred for it anyways)
Tryna justify this with the "working farm dog!!181717" mf so what.. u can't even do the bare minimum for ur dog??
Her spine is so straight and minimally slanted down the back end like you see in other GSD’s. She gets great exercise and was definitely well-bred.
I think the difference is that she's a King Shepherd which is a German shepherd/Alaskan Malamute and other herding/sledding dog mixes (they vary per breeders I believe) so it's not a pure German shepherd. Definitely agree about the importance of a straight back
@@amandasnider2644yes...as they are abused more often...made to perform at standards that harm there spines, legs and body 😢😢😢😢
please educate yourself before you comment. you are thinking about badly bred gsds. well bred still have some angulation in the back. 'straight-backed' german shepherds are not well bred dogs, and neither are overly 'sloped' back, but they definitely should NOT have a straight back.
@zergiew There are breeders that specifically breed their German shepherds to have straight healthy backs. Vanessa (the groomer in the video) has a young all black German shepherd named Lupa whom is one of these dogs. Her breeder specifically breeds black German shepherds whom are smaller in size and straight Backed and ideal for service dog work. A sloped back has become a part of the breed only due to being introduced into the kennel clubs for dog showing. In reality a sloped back has no practical benefit for working/herding dogs which is what German Shepherds were invented for.
@@amandasnider2644 That's not correct. German shepherds have always had angled backs. they're supposed to be like that as it helps with better movement. You may be able to see some better than others depending on the stack of the dog. Any breeder breeding straight backs are unethical. Vanessa made a video on straight backs and took it down because it was filled with an insane amount of incorrect info and the community told her so. Please go do some more research within the breed before spreading false information on them.
Watching you groom amounts to therapy... for ME! You're that good. Such a comforting voice, so full of love for the pets and what you do. Bravo!
She went from looking like a farm dog to looking like a show dog! What a sweet, relaxed, and gorgeous girl.
She grew this coat her entire life for this short video! :D
And then, she saw herself in the mirror, previously denied,
"What did you do to my hair!?!? I have been growing it for the last 10years and all is gone now ouuuuuu !!!
😉
The less said about “show lines” German Shepherd’s the better. The U.K. and US kennel clubs need to change the standard back to being this healthy working lines German Shepherd size/shape with healthy rear hips/spine.
@Jonathan_Doe_ Uh, all I meant was that she looks as well-groomed as a show dog would be. Rather than dirty like a typical farm dog.
@@Jonathan_Doe_ I fully agree, however Smoochie is a King Shepherd. The breed isn't recognized by the AKC, so there is no real breed standard. They are huge, though. Females average between 60-80lbs, while males average between 90-130lbs. The size alone comes with the usual hip and elbow dysplasia, though individuals who suffer from it are in the minority.
I just watched this with my 74yr old father, and he was almost in tears at the temperament. He said she reminded him of the Shepard he had as a kind, and her transformation was gorgeous.❤
I was almost in tears that someone had a shepherd for 10 years and never brushed it. Owner should be jailed.
@@ImmaSaveUFromMe She said, in the video, that she’s a farm dog. I won’t judge the owner because I’ve never lived on a farm, and don’t really know what the day to day looks like.
@@ImmaSaveUFromMe Jailed? she's a loved, healthy and well fed farm dog. Check your priorities
Owner said she cried in the shower and didn’t like to be brushed. So, she was obviously cared for and they did their best. She was so happy to see her MaMa and that tells you a lot. @@ImmaSaveUFromMe
@@ImmaSaveUFromMeyou are speaking out of turn,you don't know what you're talking about..shut up..listen and think before you open your mouth.
It’s the head tilts that get me every time 💕
Weren't they precious?! I go nuts over the head tilts.
I love when mine does head tilts
...especially when they're puppies and their ears are oversized and still floppy. 💖💖💖💖
My dog does the head tilt, it's like he's trying so hard to understand what you're saying LoL. I love it. I go crazy over the head tilts😊
She was listening 👏👏👏
What a beauty. I love how she automatically stands in that Shepherd stance. Nothing more wonderful than a Shepherd with a lovely temperament like this. She is just living the best dog life.😊
She looks so confused but at the same time she was so patient about it. so intelligent and oh so gorgeous 😍
You groomed the g sd very well. I have a rough coat collie and it takes time and patience but the end result is rewarding. Great job!
Absolutely! Beautiful dog!❤
I was a vet tech for a couple of decades. Over that time, we had a few groomers. Never, ever did I see any one of them spend this much time and effort on a dog. What you did for this beautiful dog is amazing! I wish all groomers were as talented as you! 🐾🐾
Or thorough. I'm always disappointed when my Golden Retriever smells not as great as when I bath her.
And as dedicated and considerate! 🐾💖
@@honeybunch5765 sadly, most groomers who work for companies and pressured for quantity over quality. That’s why GWTD is so special: her channel means she can do one dog a day, still make a living, and be thorough. It’s sad but the rate for a really good groom would be nuts if they didn’t have an alternative form of income :(
What an absolutely gorgeous dog, her face...😮❤
She's able to spend this much time because she offers this as a charitable service supported by money she makes from her channel and merch. Regular groomers don't have that luxury. I'm sure there are other groomers who would put in more time and effort on each dog if they could
One of the easiest ways to tell that the dog was not abused, is how happy she was, as she saw her owner for the first time after the groom
Still how do the owners let it get this bad, at that point are you even petting the dog to notice it has an insane amount of congested shed fur
@@DiscipleOfChristTheHighest the groomer lady literally said in the video that farm dogs get like this very easily, and that the owners were looking for groomers who would take the job. Who knows how long that took. It isn't like they left her to get like this over 3 years, this could be 6 months or so.
I wish that was always true. Abused dogs usually cower at the approach of an abusive owner. But I have seen many neglected dogs show joy at the approach of a neglectful owner because they are so forgiving and appreciative of the little love they do receive. (I foster rescue dogs and try to counsel owners; show more love to get more love than you ever imagined.)
@@metalshop7492 did you miss the words "farm dog" and "owner was looking for a groomer who would take the job" in the video? The dog works, she's gonna get dirty. And who knows how long the search for a groomer took and how much dirtier the dog got in the meantime. Let's use our brains before imediately accusing someone of abuse.
@@DiscipleOfChristTheHighest These dogs aren't acquired to be a petted play thing, they're working dogs. Do I sense a holier than thou attitude?
I love this comment section so very much!! Not a single negative comment towards this pups hooman or anything like that!!! Just giving love to the dog and groomer! I’ve never seen just a positive comment section on TH-cam and it’s VERY refreshing
She looks like she is really enjoying her grooming session. She is such a well-behaved, relaxed,and chill.
she’s not a purebred, and she’s also got an insanely long coat, very frowned upon trait also in breeding. Comments talk enough also about the straight back. But I tell you what, she has a 10 gold star temperment!
She looks wonderful and happy. Great job ❤❤❤
The blow out feels amazing to her… she’s scratching an itch that she couldn’t satisfy for years! It definitely felt like the equivalent to a human going to a wonderful day spay getting the works treatment with a full body massage. She is such a sweet dog, lovely temperament and she is beautiful.
@nargozot8043 who mentioned breed standards? Also a sloped back show dog wouldn't make a great farm dog
@@jolienvsndijk Plus...I don't have a dog to "show". I have it to love and be part of my family. I had mutts all my life and then my new husband and I got full blood Black Labs (Aunt and niece) from a responsible breeder (and good friend). When they both passed we got a Black Lab mix from a shelter. He is no different than our "purebreds". I wouldn't trade our purebreds for the world. They were the best dogs. But all dogs are the best dogs.
The tilting of her head is the cutest act! Like she's asking..are you talking about me?😊 the owner is sweet too. You are a very professional groomer. That's a lot of work right there!
She's so beautiful, and that was so cute 😍😚😂, I feel in love ☺️😂, I need that furry hug 🤗😂
😊
I love how the tiny white sibling at the end looked so confused as the owner was marveling at the transformation. “Why are my feet touching the ground??”
😅😅😅
I'm just confused, maybe I missed it but why has she never been groomed when its so calm and well behaved? But the owner has another dog that looks like it gets groomed?
@@honestreviewer-dp6gr Working dog outside clean dog inside. Basic for rural areas.
@@honestreviewer-dp6gr maybe the reason being that farm dogs are working dogs and most doesnt need to be extremely clean as they spend their time outside. Some just really needs a shower and doesnt even need their nails trimmed as they basically file they nails on the ground or even a toothbrush as they chew a lot of hard stuff in the farm
Such a beautiful Shepherd! So well mannered. You worked wonders with her coat. And she felt so good afterwards. She definitely is her owners Princess. Thank you, Vanessa, for sharing this amazing transformation. 😍👏🏻🤗🩷
She was so sweet!
Not a single bark, growl or bite during the entire video . Not even whining.
And at the end with the before and after pictures you can see how pretty she became.
And somehow it looked like she not only became younger, but her fur colour became so much more vibrant
I was thinking the exact same thing!! I was waiting for it. It never happened! She is an amazing doggo and she was groomed by an amazing groomer!! ❤My shepherd would have been barking and growling. He hates baths but always tries to get in the shower when I am in there lol 😂
I thought the dog looked 4-5 years younger myself!

I have never seen such a behaved dog. Her temperament is 10/10. She deserved that marvelous groom. She must felt super fantastic.
She must have felt like a princess 😂
Long haired VS short haired shepherd. The long haired are like that, cool, calm and collected. Short haired are totally different.
My granddaughter insists that she wants to be a dog groomer. She decided this at 9, she is 14 now. This is still what she wants to do.
Should she add vet tech to that? Any advice would be great. Thank you.
The King Shepherd wants her own TH-cam Channel, so she had to be on her best behavior during her debut video. A very beautiful looking Shepherd afterwards.
German Shepherds are usually smart, calm and friendly. Except when they run away to hunt. I've had 2 and very few problems.
This is a great example of why I love shepherds. She is very much not enjoying the bath, but she's smart enough to understand you're trying to help her.
They're so smart. My boy stepped in poop this morning and was so cooperative when I told him to get in the tub so I could hose off his feet. He really didn't want to, but he did it anyways.
Perhaps I'll write a book regarding my work experiences with a humane society in the mid -70's.
10 years! all my shepherds wouldn`t react this way! maybe you have nice dogs, but you not have really shepherds!
I grew up with shepherds and I miss them. I may go back to getting a pup 🐶 soon.
Thank you for helping this baby. (all dogs are babies/puppies no matter their age) she was suuuch a sweetie. 🥹
For an outside working dog I am FLABBERGASTED at how well behaved she was. So calm & no outburst! She turned out beautifully ‼️‼️Job well done by groomer & dog 👵🏻👩🌾❣️
King Shepherds tend to be calmer than GSDs
She probably felt much better getting it done. I've never had a double-coated dog go this long between grooming, but even after brushing out the shed hair on a regular basis, I could tell she loved the "lighter" feel. Kinda like when I could finally go to my own hair salon after months and months of Covid lockdown and cut off some of the excess weight 😂
@@Marcelagb33There is dog called king shephards ?
@@adriadri3624 King Shepherds, yes, there are. Check them out, amazing dogs.

You could feel her enjoying that. XD
She was loving every moment
She is def not a neglected dog! Her temperament and confidence show she is well cared for and well socialized. What an absolutely beautiful pup!!! You did a phenomenal job! All groomers should have your passion! You have a very special gift that not many have! 💜
Not a neglected dog ????
We don't have the same values, this pour dog IS a shame and I am wondering how is the house and the farm where she lives . This kind of owner should NOT exist !!!
@@anniejolu7641nope, not at all neglected. She is gloriously healthy, good natured and a prime example of a herding/farm dog. These kind of sheperds with this coattype are very difficult to wash yourself. Most of the showerheads normal people have arent even powerfull enough to come to the skin because of the richness of the coat. And to dry them afterwards is a whole new nightmare. I’m just hoping it was a shortcoming of perspective from your side….
@anniejolu7641 She is a work dog. You don't see builders and miners etc looking good at work? Think if a farmer and how dirty they get?
@@BoschMariekeit’s the owners absolute responsibility to make sure the dog is groomed ! If the owner wasn’t capable then have the dog professionally groomed ! Waiting 10 years is. Deplorable
I don’t care what anyone says ! This is a form of neglect! This poor animal hasn’t had a good groom in 10 years and it clearly showed ! If this groom wasn’t free the owner would have NEVER had this poor animal groomed !
Oh! Bless her! Feeding & walking isn't enough! Poor girl!😢 Amazing outcome! Let's hope her owners learn a lesson?
If you've ever seen one of those videos where a barber takes a man off the street, gives him a good haircut and a nice shave and he ends up looking 15 years younger, that's what you just did for this dog. You could see the years on her before, but now, she looks like a young pup again. Truly incredible work.
She’s so smart! She only shook herself at 10:22 when the groomer said the bath was over! And the little smile after!! :3 Such a smart girl.
That is a coincidence. She cannot understand what she said. Dogs can pick up on some words, but in this case there is simply no reason to believe it was ever taught that sentence.
@@FreshToast-qm8ki dogs understand more than you think, they are excellent on picking up tone and physical queues, which is probably what happened here. Stepping back and using an excited tone probably gave her all the communication she needed to understand her bath was finished. moreover, don't most owners teach their dogs the concept of done/over/no more? seems highly likely that she would be taught such phrases.
@@FreshToast-qm8ki
Many dogs can understand human words, especially the herding breeds.
Dogs have an intelligence of between a 2 to 5-year-old child (an estimation).
About 13 years ago, I adopted a little dog off the street that was just one solid lump of matting, sort of like a fuzzy bowling ball. When shaved, he turned out to be Havanese. The groomer had to assure me that he was the same dog. He's getting old now, but still a sweetheart.
Aww❤😂
I recently rescued a dog off the street. Sort of good news, bad news with her coat. She's a short hair Border Collie (or maybe Mcnab dog) mixed with Husky. Her coat was in decent shape and after having her professionally groomed and not letting her roll in dirt oil, and whatever other filth she'd gotten into while living rough, her coat basically just renews itself and stays looking so nice she gets compliments all the time.
Bad news is that she's just CONSTANTLY shedding, hellooooo Swiffer.
What a beautiful girl she is. She is obviously loved because she has such a calm demeanor and gentle eyes! God bless you for what you do!
She looks so majestic, even standing while being rinsed off. No wonder she’s a Princess 👑
Totally agree ❤ 👑
She was so well behaved it is obvious that she is handled and worked with a lot, not the usual signs of neglect! This dog is well and truly loved
Yep just working hard
is that matted compacted filthy dry coat not a sign of neglect?
@@goldenhotdog8293
Pay attention to the video. She said it's a farming dog, you know what they were bred to do?
@@goldenhotdog8293A double coated dog picks up dirt like a swifter.
@@saba347 getting a farm dog is not an excuse to not take care of it. Also based on that dogs weight i doubt it actually works and herds livestock. I know many people with actual working dogs that herd cattle and they would be appauled to have their dog in this state.
I feel the fact that she just had compacted fur after 10 years is a testament to how loved and well taken care of she is at home. You really did these owners a huge favor helping them out! It can't be easy having a farm dog with THAT much fur!
We have a Great Pyrenees who is indoor/outdoor (mostly out). I brush her every two weeks at a minimum. It's good bonding time, and it prevents her from becoming a matted mess. Maybe this family could incorporate something similar into their routine.
This beautiful girl was so well-behaved, and she obviously knew she could trust you. You are so gentle and kind. Fabulous job. She's gorgeous, and you can tell that she feels so much better!
Thanks for the care you took with her.

@@LoryConrad I'm sure the owners do bathe and brush the dog, they said so. And she would have been unable to move if she hadn't been brushed in ten years. Only the current coat needed blowing out.

And, what a HAPPY client!

And what a massive job for you
Smoochie put a smile on my face. She was so proud of herself when her owner showed up. They obviously loved each other. So glad she didn’t need a shave. 💜
Stunning transformation! I’m surprised the groom took under 3 hours. You are indeed a miracle worker. So happy this dog can feel comfortable again.
So sweet I love this breed of shepherds
I was fully expecting a four-hour groom (including breaks of course). Amazing work!
Same here! Not that is was a short time, but no where near as long as I had suspected it would be! I suspect that the good nature of this sweet fur baby helped to keep that time at a minimum!!
I’ve never owned a dog, however I could not take my eyes off this video. I’m absolutely “blown” away by your work.
I can definitely see why you came in on your day off to groom this girl. What an absolute angel of a shepherd! What a transformation!
Hello 👋
Vanessa, you are the living example of the saying “do what you love and you will never work a day in your life”. The satisfaction you get from transforming this beautiful girl into the princess she deserves to be is obvious. I watched the entire blow-out going “no way!” over and over. You’re a miracle-worker!
Although she's a farm dog, she's really used to being spoken to and loved. Great job Vanessa! I agree, I think you made Smoochie feel like a princess!
You are so calm, and collected, your stable tone, and reassurance with them as you go, pets, massages, soft touches! You have a gift! 🎁 You have made a believer out of me, so much so I would love to drive to your shop and come join your team and learn from the cream of the crop of people doing this out there on their TH-cam channel! You're showing everyone that you really can do this work and just how good you are. Your showing people what it takes for the job to get done for difficult dogs and or those with little to no experience of this kind of grooming care, love & TLC! Keep Up The Great Work! 🎉❤
You can just see how much happier the dog was and how so much better she felt afterwards. 🥳
I love seeing how her mood becomes more trustful as she starts feeling fresher and more comfortable. In the end she's just accepts the foot trimmings instead of pulling away.
Such a great temperament this girl has. We have a GSD much like her. Vanessa, you are such a warm, caring woman, your videos are my favorites.
Imo that dog was neglected and made to live outside due to the heavy shedding. Hence, the little dog is pampered living indoors, as it's a non shedding breed. I'm sure she loves the dog ( king shepherd ) as it looked healthy other than the extremely neglected grooming, no excuse to let that dog get so matted like that.
@texasgirl6000, go touch some grass and get some perspective. That dog is not neglected. If she had been actually neglected for 10 years her mats would have caused raw oozing wounds on her body.
@@whynotnofi8278there doesn’t have to be wounds to show that the dog was neglected. I understand not getting it done professionally every time but not getting her groomed at all OVER 10 YEARS is INSANE AND NEGLECTFUL
The fact that she looked good before AND after says A LOT about how beautiful this dog is ♥
Before: Fluffy bear
After: Maybelline model
Shes such a good girl...❤
The trust she had in you. She knew you were their to help her. Your channel makes me so happy and is so therapeutic. I work in a doggy daycare and love seeing people who love dogs do right by them. You’re amazing.
there*
they dont teach spelling in doggy daycare? or are you a worker there?
@@ocesoThe fuck is your problem, I read this comment and thought “that’s the wrong there,” but I didn’t lash out at the person for using the wrong one. How old are you? 12, you’re very immature.
@oceso lmaooo--You have the audacity to call someone out on using the wrong there/ their/ they're, yet you can't seem to comprehend basic capitalization and punctuation? Someone tell scrooge that it's not even December yet 😂 I have a feeling hypocrisy is a chronic, incurable disease for you. Bless your heart
@@ocesobe nice, it’s a common mistake
Just WOW❣️
I’m not sure I have the words, except to simply say what an absolute ANGEL this truly beautiful girl Smoochie is.
Not one single sign of anger, or frustration etc from her and especially being a beautiful girl who hadn’t been groomed for 10 years, and a long haired, double coated dog at that, is absolutely unbelievable. I personally believe that not only does this video show Smoochie’s most beautiful, sweet nature, but also just how very much she is loved, adored and cared for at home she actually is.
I ABSOLUTELY ADORE SMOOCHIE❤️
She certainly is one very beautiful and precious girl, that’s for sure. I love her gorgeous and lovable head tilts also. They get me every time.
ANOTHER SENSATIONAL JOB VANESSA. Seriously, you’re an absolute miracle worker.
BEAUTIFUL JOB AND SUCH A BEAUTIFUL GIRL, BOTH VANESSA AND SMOOCHIE❤️🥰❤️🥰
The absolute chunks of hair coming off her was incredible! She was a walking birds nest! What a gorgeous, good girl!!
Leave her alone !😭.
You could make a poodle from all the shed hair
A couple things: I cannot believe she is 10 YEARS old! Incredibly well cared for, fed, loved & worked!! She is so beautiful...her markings & color, seriously gorgeous. I love her! What an uplifting video,Vanessa! So good! ❤🐾🫠
leaving your dog extremely matted and very impacted isn't "incredible care". Neglecting the grooming of a longhaired dog isn't something to be praised. And despite what the groomer says I know literally thousands of farmdogs that don't look like this. Well-bred Farmdogs should be shedding out nicely so they can do their work unhindered. A good LGD for example doesn't get matted ever even without grooming.
@@GotAnUmbrellaI have to agree. They're fine caring for the cute white dog... but this magnificent girl was badly neglected. I hope this encourages the owners to care for her now.
I expect that it isn't that they "neglected" this darling shepherd, but more so, don't have the appropriate tools to keep her looking her best! Vanessa went through bottles of "Fluff-Off" shampoo; a shampoo specifically made to help loosen compacted fur. Plus she also used a face wash, and conditioner! Just those special made products can be pricey, and can only be found from Vanessa's store. Then you have the Chris Christensen slicker brush which is not a cheap brush, but does wonders for getting coats brushed out with minimal pulling. Not to mention the high velocity dryer! I've never even priced high velocity dryers, but all pro dryers are quite pricey!! Add onto those expenses the cost of good electric shears (my shears are not great, and yet I paid $80 for then 10 years ago! Also, the cost of the scissors, the nail clippers, etc.! It can be extremely expensive to groom a working dog using the correct tools and products! If you aren't in a position to lay down a bunch of money for all you need to groom your working dog appropriately, then you must find a pro who will do it for you! Groomers who take in little fur babies like the white pup the owner carried in to greet the shepherd are a dime a dozen, but finding Groomers that work with the big fur babies are very hard to find! Those Groomers need special set up for the big babies, and they have to be willing to take all that extra time! I feel like your judgment is based on misguided information! Don't judge other until you have walked a day in their shoes!!!
@@amyralls6218 she looks like this because it's been years without proper grooming. A yearly professional groom would have prevented a majority of it. You don't need Vanessa's brand of Deshedding shampoos, run of the mill deshedding shampoo and good water pressure works just fine. You can find deshedding shampoo for under $15 dollars. the same goes with face shampoos.
You are clearly not speaking from experience. Farmers aren't investing tons of money for special brushes and shampoos and haven't for hundreds of years. Dogs were kept unmatted before electricity was ever invented.
That was my point! Most people (farmer or not) aren't going to spend the big bucks to get their farm dogs fur looking like a show dog!
You are correct, I do not live on a farm, but I've had a working breed dog, and keeping them looking like show dogs is nearly impossible! Most of the working farm dogs I've met were dirty!
This breed of dog happens to have a compressed coat! Compressed coats are difficult to care for! Sure, you can get other shampoos, but remember, even if the shampoo is "only" $15 per bottle, when you have to use a minimum of THREE bottles, you've now spent $45....just on shampoo!!!
It isn't realistic that EVERY dog parent knows how to care for theirs dogs' coat! As Vanessa mentioned, the owner thought the dog had bad matting where actually her biggest problem was serious compaction!
I hope your future finds you in a position where you can refrain from judging people you don't know, providing others with respect, and, if possible, gently sharing knowledge that will actually help others to be better! You may find yourself a more fulfilled person in the end!
I love how the level of trust seems to develop as the dog realizes she’s helping and they feel better.
She was an absolute sweetheart throughout the whole grooming session. I just couldn’t believe it. Here I’ve had/have a small dog and they’re just complete monsters. What a difference she is. Well done!!🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
You had me in the first minute or two with those little head tilts. It made me melt. What a beautiful job you did. What a sweet pup. Thanks for all you do.
Omg yes the head tilts 😂
She does the "uwu" face too.
My boy has been gone for years now and I still remember looking into his gorgeous eyes and seeing how smart he was doing the head tilts 🥲🥲
Stunning job! Totally different looking dog by the end. It's like your groom took 10 years off her, revealing her true colors. Well done Vanessa. Her owner was rightly astonished.
I can't believe how little time (in the long run) it took Vanessa to do this incredible transformation! I suspect the wonderful nature of this darling dog helped in keeping that time short!!
I love how she actually just sat there for you and then also she kept doing that head tilt❤
Exactly! My heart can't take this cuteness 🥰
The head tilts slay me 🥰
@@AuntCathyPooh Likely seeing herself in the camera lens or similar. But yes, very sweet.
Your heart shines through with how much you really care at one point while you were blowing her down,she looked at you in a way that came across as thank you for helping me feel 8 years younger.i love watching you I don't comment until today that is because this transformation in under 3hrs was absolutely amazing you do a fantastic job an service,much love from England uk 🇬🇧 x🌷💓🌷x
What a handsome and noble girl!! She was so incredibly well behaved, I bet she does amazing work on her farm.
Yes, noble is a brilliant word for this dog.
Omg… soo dirty tho! 😂
@@piranha7719what did you expect for a dog living on a farm?😂
My 13 years german shepherd just died after a stroke. It was painful and in the same time sweet to see this. She was a sweet giant full of love like this one.Hugs to Princess and you for this video! She seemed sooo happy when she was brushed at the end!
Sending you some hugs ❤ Sorry for your loss. I know how you are feeling right now. 😢 We have a saying here; in English it would be something like
“Don’t cry, because it is over.
Smile, because it was wonderful.” ❤
Sorry, but not about you or your dog
@@user-rb1yf4he9qnot sure you understood my comment.. or if you read it in its entirety …but that’s ok.
@@delia7721thank you so much! ❤ this video just reminded me so much about her. I am watching this video again and again .
So sorry for your loss. It's so hard, those goodbyes.
In this dark world, videos about pets being cleaned and happy bring light. You do an amazing job
This bread is incredible. I love ALL dogs, but the Shepherd has a special place in my heart. I owned a Shepherd for 13 years before he left with the angels. They are just incredible. They are so well-behaved, loving, and attentive. My Shepherd, Dutch, was my best friend, my roommate, my partner in life, my everything. He could be a comedian and make me laugh one minute, which tickeled him to death, or would be willing to die to protect me the next. When alone, I often talk to Dutch. I miss him terribly, but I know he will be waiting for me when those same angels come for me. I love your channel. It is like going to class. Your knowledge of breeds, behaviors, and expectations are incredible... and for a dog lover like me, I feel as though I am learning their language. So, thank you.
It must feel sooooo good getting all of those mats out and all that loose fur brushed out! Love the owners reaction. Great job, Vanessa!
Owner should be jailed. 10 years not brushing a shepherd (or any dog with a double coat) should be a felony.
Yeah, seeing as how she spends more time bleaching and dying her hair instead of her animal - it was def eye opening. If she can’t afford to maintain its health, it’s abuse. She could start by sacrificing her own hair care. Smoothies cleanliness was disgusting and the amount hair that came off was clear neglect.
Hurricane Smoochie.
@@ImmaSaveUFromMe You have terrible listening comrpehension. It is stated clearly in the beginning of the video that this is the first *professional* groom in 10 years. She was groomed by her owner, but it was difficult since the dog didn't like to be brushed and howled in the shower. Farm dogs get dirty within five minutes of getting clean, and if you ever handled a long haired double coated dog, you'd know they start compacting and matting just by sitting down sometimes. Even with shorter haired double coated dogs this is present too, though to a lesser extent.
@@PaladinDansesGirlfriendI'll repeat what I said for the other guy, but you both need to work on your listening comprehension. This is Smoochie's (not "Smoothie") first *professional* groom. She was groomed at home, but she didn't like the brush and , and howled in the shower. But she was groomed.
German shepherds were bred to herd sheep. The long coat is to keep them warm while outside and protect them from the elements. Their fur will get matted and compacted even if you do maintain a grooming routine, especially since for some long haired double coated dogs compacting already occurs when they sit down. Obviously her fur was maintained, proven by most of it was just compacting not matting, but if your dog spends most of its time outside working, it will be an uphill battle. She was well tended to, even if she did not look too pretty. But she is not malnourished and obviously well treated and trained from her behaviour and how she loves her owner.
She was so well behaved, and loved the dryer! When you were drying her chest she was like "yeah, thats the spot!" what a sweetheart! and what a transformation!!!!
Some dogs complain about the dryer, some try to flee it, some try to bite it.
Smoochie leaned into it with a "Oh yeah, that's the spot" look.
yeah I was thinking that she seemed to love when she used the dryer on her chest area... but maybe she got a little impatient with how long it took.. dunno if its just me but she seemed a bit snappish by the end xD
It's unbelievable how much fur came off Princess Smoochie! And she still has lots left. She is so well behaved, and looked like she was actually enjoying the blow dryer at some points. She's a gorgeous dog, especially after her groom.
And now probably upwards up 70% less likely to have a heat stroke.
Yes, that coat is 100% functional, and all the groomer did was remove 100% additional coat and shedding from the last ten years.
@@ImmaSaveUFromMe, true.
@@ImmaSaveUFromMe It's obvious that the dog was used to the bath and brushing. Ten years of coat would have had her on her knees at least.
That’s a big dog
What an AMAZING girl she is!
I love the ones that are as dramatic a change as this was, and also, as a bonus - the owner reaction....
That was so sweet when you said "we're done!", then she shook, and she hadn't shaken until that moment, and she looks so happy! she's like 'what's next?'🐕🦺 What a great dog shepherds are such good companions😊
Wow! She doesn’t look anywhere near 10 years old! She’s absolutely gorgeous! She’s not a princess, she’s a Queen 💕 I loved her owners reaction - absolutely precious! You could see how much they loved each other - just heartwarming to witness. Vanessa, your work is incredible - you put your heart and soul into every animal lucky enough to come through your doors. Thank you for all you do ❤
She's so cute! Those big, intelligent eyes looking at you like "u sure about this, friend?" were killing me. And the owner's reaction at the end said so much!
She's gorgeous and so perfect! Her momma was so happy. You made her day!
Wow, what an amazingly well-behaved dog. It's hard to believe it hasn't gone through this process of being handled by a stranger for hours on a regular basis. So calm and happy-looking.
Great comment. I noticed the same thing.
21:59 beautiful job
You were correct. Smoochie's transformation is the best so far! And her behavior and temperament were the icing on the cake. Thank you and Smoochie for sharing the experience
She is such a patient, obedient dog. Thank you for explaining how farm dogs can get so dirty. I did not know there were dogs called King Shepherds. I have never seen one with such a long hair! She is absolutely gorgeous!
It's because it's a fancy name for a mutt.
I think this dog mentally more stable than a lot of us 😂❤
So true! 😂
Heck yeah
Hah! Attacking me like this
I was thinking the same! I could not go through such an extensive session with such a sweet demeanor all throughout..
I feel so called out but you're absolutely right lol
You can tell she started getting relief when the fur started flying. Her face said it all…
When you told her she was going to feel amazing after that, she looked at you with such affection. Totally in love.
7:10
This woman saved the dogs life, possibly. I would be grateful too.
Risk of heat stroke was cut by 70%
@@ImmaSaveUFromMe
The double coat helps with the heat, plus panting with a tongue still wet.
Wow! Right after the shower during the towel dry, I thought there was nooo way you wouldn't have to shave a bunch. Totally proven wrong! She looks amazing at the end, and she looks so happy!
She's the most amazing beautiful German Shepherd I've ever seen. Rough or groomed I just love her. Deserves a flippin' medal for her grooming obedience. I'll give her an Oscar for dogs. And a FARM dog. Wow.
She's a King Shepherd though, hence the massive size compared to a German or Shiloh.
I love that your knowledge of the difference between compacted and matted helped her through this process with minimal stress. Well done, both of you!
What's the difference?
Matting is thick tangled clumps of hair or fur that is still connected to the skin, while compaction is loose hair that couldnt shed fully gettting stuck in the top coat.@@seanewing204
@@seanewing204matting is kind of like Dreadlocks in humans. It's hair that is still living and connected, but is so knotted up that it can't be brushed out and can only be shaved. In context of this video, compacted seems to be somewhat similar, but is mostly loose, already shed fur that has gotten stuck in the fur. Compacting could likely lead to matting, but if addressed with detailing shampoo and a nice blow dry, apparently will blow right out without too much problem.
Dreadlocks are able to be brushed out with enough patience. And it’s an intentional hairstyle as opposed to matting which is neglected hair that gets too tangled and clumped up to deal with
The way this dog just looks at you or sniffs you to communicate she is getting a bit tired/uncomfortable is so sweet. Just a sensitive and considerate soul. Made my heart melt, and my eyes water at some point 🙃❤
Love watching the dogs you work on starting to realise that this process is good for them and are actually starting to enjoy it! You don’t just have a skill you have a gift. 🤩
At I loved how at 12:30 she was really leaning into the blow dryer, you can tells she was really enjoying feeling the air on her skin.
Same thoughts
It was a very good scratching of a long awaiting itch.😊❤
What a good, patient girl! That was a marathon grooming session, accepted with such equanimity! Well done, pup!
I have always been a Shepherd lover and this made me cry a little bit - the love you have for dogs and the amount of consideration and care you put into your grooming is extraordinary. I do not think I have seen such a glorious example of her breed and is clear her mummy adores her.
Really well groomed little dog with squeaky lady???
The woman-type person who created the King Shepherd breed has the ethics of a starving pig. She knowingly bred a dog with TERRIBLE hip dysplasia because he was incredibly beautiful and made the most gorgeous pups. As a result, a lot of very crippled puppies were sold to unsuspecting people. It is entirely out of respect for the author of this channel that I am refraining from using the most vulgar profanity in describing what I truly think of Ms. Shelly Watts-Cross. Please do not let anyone you love purchase a King Shepherd.
What an amazing transformation! She's got an outstanding temperament too -so sweet and patient! I have owned 10 German Shepherds and I believe temperament is so important. She also is so well behaved so compliments to her owner for raising such a beautiful girl!!
The curious look on her face and her head tilting are just so adorable❤
Yes, exactly. That made me chuckle.
Oh my word, I have totally fallen in love with this dog, she is absolutely stunning and when she tilts her head to the side when you talk to her...my heart flips! What a wonderful way you have with her, you were calm and totally in control. Well done.
❤Well observed!😊
I know she's gorgeous I'm obsessed
What an absolutely gorgeous temperament dog she was just perfect and a wonderful end result🐾❤️
Her demeanor alone shows how much she’s loved German Shepards are a very tough bread so all you haters relax she has been clearly loved. What an amazing video great job sweetie thank you for sharing so much fun to watch!!😘
Absolutely agree with you except for that "you haters". Why is it that North Americans take criticism for hatred?
@@vaska1999 I think the biggest thing with the haters is when people put forth opinions as facts and try to criticize for not doing something when they already are doing it plenty, ie. blame you for letting a coat get matted and calling it abuse when a dog is well loved and taken care of
Though? What you mean ? I have one😊
Yeah, she is clearly comfortable being handled and even bathed. Clearly that's not pure intrinsic good nature - I've seen abused Shepherds and they were flinchy at best or downright scary at worst. It can be very easy to let a double-coated dog's coat get out of hand VERY fast, especially if they're an adventurous working dog. Hopefully her owners can keep up with a routine that makes these professional groomings only an occasional necessity.
@vaska1999 haters doesn't mean hatred when we use it
This is incredible, I could feel the dogs relief when you were bathing her and the blowout of hair - she is so beautiful. You really are a miracle worker. Bless you.
Her level of trust in such an unfamiliar situation tells me that her owner has been absolutely wonderful to her.
And how happy she was to see her owner pick her up :-D
Our two girls went from stressed with their old groomer to calm and happy thanks to our new groomer. The groomer and the environment really make a difference. So nice to see this pretty girl in all her glory.
That's good that you switched. All my dogs that I have groomed, when they get out of the car they run to my door. One dog at a time in my shop so I can give them special care.❤
i was a dog groomer for almost 10 years and de-sheds are what i miss the most. they were the most satisfying grooms ever because you know you were actually improving the quality of life for the dogs instead of just making them look prettier.
Ikr! I've never done grooming on any dogs except my own, but de-sheds are so fun, I bet they feel wonderfully light afterwards 🥰🐕🐾
Your so good with her. Your constantly reassuring her. And this is calming her. She looks Fantastic, like she stepped out of the Salon. She must feel so good, Bless her. Thank you for sharing. ❤❤❤❤ Well done on all your hard work.
You did an amazing job! She was such a good dog. When her owner showed up , she was like “Look what this nice lady did to me.” It was also like she was wanting to come and give you appreciation too. You’re awesome ❤

I still will insist dogs, especially GSDs, are very, very good at reading a person's intentions. This dog knew you were going to help her, groom her and talk nice with her. She was all for it. Plus, being a farm dog, she must know water won't hurt her. I was so amazed though at her reaction to the blower. No reaction at all... except one point where she was clearly enjoying it. Great job!
She is probably used to hearing very loud farm machinery. The blow dryer might not scare her.
What a sweet, sweet girl! If that's what "she doesn't like being brushed" looks like, I'm sure she is an absolute joy of a doggy daughter/employee to have. What a blessing she must be to her family, and judging by her mom's demeanor I have hope that they are just as much a blessing to her. Just an overall very wholesome and enjoyable video that really perked up my day. And thank you as always for your tireless work and bright bushy attitutde Vanessa, you are the patron saint of pupperoos 🥰🥰🥰
