Sides


Using the curved shears, angle the shears downward and scissor to create a "barrel" from the sides to the belly.

Underside

Using the straight shears, scissor a straight line from the brisket up to the belly, maintaining the angle of the scissors as shown.

Waist


Trim off excess hair on the body immediately in front of the back legs to create a waist. Do NOT bring the waist up to the topline.
