9.1

Blending the neck with the shoulder

Use the straight shears to blend the clippered part of the neck with the rest of the body.

9.2

Scissoring the shoulder

Angle the shears downward to create a straight line from the shoulders, down the leg, ultimately to the toes.

9.3

Scissoring the vertical line to the leg

When viewed from the front, the shoulders and the outside of the front legs visually create a perfectly straight vertical line.
