Note to self, as someone who grooms her own dogs (a Pomeranian and a Pekingese): never, ever get a corded hair dog.

As a Black girl with “corded hair” aka dread locs for 20yrs, she and I would have to go to the loctician together! I don’t even wash my OWN “coat”😂She’s stunning

The look on Rosie's face as Vanessa was shaving her "sanitary" area was 100% the look on my face when I'm at the gynecologist! It's the "this is not happening to me" face.

Rosie is a high maintenance dog that gave Vanessa one of the least amount of problems I've ever seen in any of her grooms. What a beautiful temperament Rosie has! 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹

Everyone wishes to have a groomer as skilled as Vanessa, I wished I had a hairstylist as skilled as her

Can we get a round of applause for Rosie, for being so a good, patient, well-behaved girl? Well done, Vanessa, who certainly also deserves applause!

"It would be better to soak her cords" Me with locs: Vanessa totally understands. Washing cleans mostly the scalp and surface. Soaking deep cleans and softens the locs/cords

I’ve seen dogs with bows in their hair but never a scrunchie. That was cute.

The fact that the owner has scrunchies for her, and sought out Vanessa to groom her says alot and explains why she is a happy adjusted dog.

I'm always amazed by people who can handle dogs with high maintenance coats like this. Staying on top of my dogs' exercise and enrichment needs is enough for me, I can't imagine having to do a ton of grooming on top of that!

I love how on dogs it's "corded", but on people it's "locs". I considered getting a komondor at one point, but dealing with my own locs is plenty of work for me. Maybe I should try using the dog's shampoo nozzle on my locs, it looks like it soaks through faster than me washing in the kitchen sink! I've recently started using his high velocity dryer on myself. So much faster than a human dryer. 😆

I’m only about 3/4 of the way through, but this is the most well behaved dog ever! She’s probably very used to grooming with no traumatic grooming experiences, which makes me so happy to see.

Her temperament is amazing. She genuinely looks like a happy doggo 💕❣️

The desperation in Vanessa's voice when she asks Rosie to not shake is truly moving, and the look on her face when Rosie does shake is priceless.

Good lord what a well behaved pup. Standing ovation to the owners. Well done folks, well done.

I’m from Hungary,we love pulis,they are a national treasure,very intelligent, extremely loyal,love kids,all around a great dog,need exercise, if you don’t want to deal with the cords, get the next best thing….. Pumi. Pumi has the same characteristics but doesn’t have cords,also a Hungarian herding dog!

I've never seen a pup that suits her name really well. Rosy is really really adorable with her lil ponytail on top of her head. She's so well behaved throughout the groom❤❤❤❤

I’m glad people get to see this because it really communicates why Pulis are such a captivating breed. Their intelligence really comes across and dare I say it because that’s the right word, their charm. The dog almost seems to understand exactly what the groomer is asking because they really were bred for their brains.

Rosie was so well behaved! I can imagine that when those cords get wet they weigh an absolute tonne 😱

as someone who has dreads, i understood this video on a spiritual level, especially during the wash😂

I love when you tackle the dogs with difficult coats! It's fascinating to see how different the process is than with dogs with typical coats

I don't know why but I like it when the dog decides to drink some of the water at the beginning of a shower. It makes me smile.

My mom died 2 weeks and 1 day ago. She was just getting into the Puli breeding program and left behind seven dogs with her partner. Her death was very unexpected for all of us and she died way too young. This is bittersweet to watch for me. Thank you for sharing all of the information on the breed that you have. I know my mom would have loved that.

Her scrunchy ponytail is adorable 💕

What a nice spa day for Rosie. She even got the unscented products she requested.

I can't help but wonder how corded dogs were maintained decades ago when working as livestock guardians, because it is hard to imagine busy farmers spending a whole day dilligently washing and squeezing their coats. They must've been walking mops of dust and twigs.

Wow Rosie is truly unbothered 😂 no thoughts just vibes

I never saw a dog like Rosie. She looks amazing with her doggy dreadlocks.

As a person with locs ,. I get so excited to see a corded dog. They are the unofficial mascot of the loc community 😊

While I'd never want a corded dog for myself, I can admire how good they can look and the sheer dedication of the owners to look after one.

Could never handle that level of maintenance but she sure was a cutie at the end of her groom with that scrunchie!

She seems like an ultra patient dog, abundantly loved from her owner. I wonder, is she a show dog? The intelligence of some of your four-legged clients really amazes me. Thank you for being such a GOOD teacher!

I'd love to repeat the comment I left for a Komondor as I love to talk about my boy. I grew up with a Puli dog. What a fine boy he was! So independent and intelligent, he rode a bike with me. He was sitting on a trunk like a second bicyclist in a human pose with his front paws on the back of my saddle. Each time I took a bike out, he would get so excited. When he wanted to get into the house from the yard, he wouldn't move until someone said, "Please come in". No one taught him that, he just decided so. I don't think we did everything correctly with his coat but we certainly did our best. It was pre-internet time, we didn't even know we had a Puli. Some kids tried to put him in a dumpster when he was a puppy, a driver from Grandpa's work rescued him and took to the workplace. That's how he ended up with us. Grandma didn't even know she had a dog before a black cloud started sniffing her leg in the night. She got so scared she almost killed Grandpa. :D He was like a brother to me, we danced together and I taught him tricks and cleaned his coat. He had his own bathtub outside. Only recently, 13 years after his death, I was talking about him and it hit me -- I can Google a dreadlocked dog on the internet. I saw the photos and literally cried for so long. We always thought we had a mixed-breed dog and that we won't see another one like that. I'm biased but he was certainly a cutie, even compared to his own breed. To think that he almost ended up in a dumpster! I would love to have a Puli someday when I have a house of my own.

I love seeing corded doggos run. All of their cords flopping is so cute!

It's cute how she looked at what you were doing when you were squeezing the soap through her cords. Like "what are you doing to my hair noodles?"

She was so well behaved. I can't imagine how much more work it would've been if she hadn't been.

Thank you! This is a dream come true. As a kid, I had a puli. Or perhaps it's more accurate to say that I was part of a puli's family. They are smart, water-resistant, independent, loyal, stubborn, and selfless creatures. Thanks for taking such good care of Rosy

Scented products-1) I’m allergic but 2) on the rare cases when I took my standard dachshund to the groomer and they put perfume on him, he would just find the worst possible thing to roll in! And then I’d have to bathe him again. So no scent for him! Unless it’s rotted lizard, his favorite!

Omg, the way Rosie first looked at the camera when she was all done - my heart melted! You could tell she was feeling like the prettiest girl. Thanks for another amazing video, Vanessa!

She’s a dog owners dream,her temperament is priceless,her & her owners are an example of what all pet owners should aspire to!❤

What an incredibly well behaved and clearly well loved dog ❤

For returning customers, do you keep notes on each dog that you can reference before the groom? It would be interesting to see how you organize things outside of work

I cannot even imagine the amount of work this is for the owner. Kudos to them for taking such good care of this lovely girl.

I love how all dog groomers share the innate fear of a fluffy dog shaking water/soap off and super soaking them. I think I'm the only dog bather who just accepted it lol

Rosie’s humans here: thank you Vanessa for this amazing opportunity and care with the groom! ❤❤❤ Thanks to everyone for the kind comments! ❤Rosie always wears one of her 4762 scrunchies (not actually, but she has a lot). She loves adventuring outside and we love how happy it makes her - even if it means extra grooming and cleaning! Rosie has a sister, Rocket, 5 months old. They have the same parents and are from litters 3 years apart. Rocket isn’t a mop yet (more like a feather duster) but she will cord in a few months and we will probably be walking around with two black mop dogs soon enough!🎉

Despite all the benefits that corded fur has (and looking so darn cute), it is a LOT of maintenance that anyone looking to own a corded dog should be made fully aware of beforehand. You're either going to need a _really_ good groomer on the budget, or a _really_ big bathtub and a lot of time on your hands to groom them yourselves. Don't let the comfort of your dog's cords become a burden!

Rosie seems confused but happy that she’s along for the ride lol

OMG this dog is gorgeous. Her cords were so fluffy after drying & I prefer my hair to look fluffy instead of smooth. I have locs too but they're only back shoulder length. They already get heavy when wet so I can imagine how heavy her coat was while shampooing & rinsing. I let my hair air dry, after using a towel to squeeze most of the water and it takes about 4-7 hours to completely dry! you did an amazing job, I have never been this invested in watching dog videos, but I binge watch yours when I have free time!

So cute she had a scrunchie in her fur. Great job, Vanessa.

Ok, I have a REALLY important question… How do you keep your hands nice?! They always look so lovely and they are in water so much! It is as remarkable as your observation of dog behaviour. Love your content so much!

What an incredibly well behaved dog!! This dog does better at the groomer than I do at the salon!!😂

1.) Rosie was SUCH a well-behaved and patient dog! 🥰 2.) I ❤ your fingernail polish, Vanessa! 🤩

its really intriguing to see the similarities between dog coats like this and my own hair! people never realize how high maintenance it is to naturally have highly textured hair. sometimes washing it can take up to 40 minutes, and your arms and fingers get super tired and worn from working over your head that intensely. the same is true with debris getting stuck in the hair and not being able to come out easily, so it just gets washed (multiple times, mind you) with all the rest. and thats even before we talk about the hour or more just combing through it and styling it back into a basic non-fancy maintenance style just to stave off the hair's desire to mat. so much said was true, about not wanting to scrub the hair in the cords due to making them frizz up and tangle more, making a bigger headache for all involved or at worst a fairly impossible endeavor of a mess to fix, and things like how the hair behaves like a sponge and just soaks up whats applied to it, making soaping and degreasing a task. all in all, its heartwarming to see the recognition of having to employ entirely different techniques and methods to deal with a coat of this texture, as well as its correlation to humans like me with similar hair

What a nice dog...she was one of the best behaved and patient than most any of the other dogs you groom.

Oh YES. This is what I've wanted to see all along. I thought the Komondor from a few weeks was as close as I'd get to a Puli. Rosie is both beautiful and absorbent.

I love the fear and panic in the "DON'T DO IT!" when she looked ready to shake, lol!

Wasn't she so well behaved? With such a high maintenance coat she must be use to a lot of handling and fussing, but it doesn't mean she would always tolerate it. What a gem she is. It was so interesting to watch...but makes me grateful for my greyhound wash - dry - brush LOL

As a hairstylist, I wish that doing dreads were as easy as this. We have separate them and re-twist them…..that’s a lot of palm rolling🙃. She was a very good pup!

What a wonderfully behaved girl Rosie is!!! I remember trying to do my 2 daughters’ hair when they were little and let me tell you…Rosie is way more behaved than my girls were😂😂 Kudos, Vanessa!!!!!

well mannered and absorbent. 10/10

How many views do each of us need to do for you to get/install a doggy bathtub? Because we'll do it.

as someone with adhd, you're the equivalent of a real life, miracle working superhero like i truly cannot even imagine washing one strand this many times....heck not even my own hair....you're just the coolest

the goodest of girls right there. so well trained and polite and absolutely fricken adorable too. also lowkey she's loc goals lol

I am totally in love with Rosie! She is such a good girl. I want to give her a kiss on the cheek.

There was a Budweiser commercial in around the 90s with a black guy that had this dog, he wanted to go in a bar but there was a sign saying "no dogs allowed" so he walked in speaking in a Jamaican accent and wearing the dog on his head 😂😂😂😂

Rosie is such a sweet-tempered and patient girl! She is quite a contrast to some of the cranky dogs you've had lately. She turned out beautiful; nice job.

Wow, she was so sweet and gentle during her groom, what a sweety. so easy going. I have never seen a corded dog before. Loved the video.

I also own a corded dog!! She’s a different breed, but the work we put into her coat is just the same. I must say that once their coat is properly corded, it’s very easy (but very time consuming) to maintain healthy, plus it looks so cool!! You did such a good job with Rosie

What a good girl for enduring all that shampooing and standing the whole time 🥹

Never knew dog grooming was so utterly fascinating 🐕❤️

She is so dang cUUUte! ...and what a sweet and patient lil lady 💕

She looks great. You groom with such care and compassion.

That's not a dog, it's a mop!

Most groomers make me upset at how they TREAT THE DOGS... BUT YOU MAKE ME SO HAOPY!! SO KIND TO EVERY DOG!!!❤

What a good girl this whole process❤

As some with locs this video is so satisfying to watch lol. Its like im watching my hair care routine just on a different species. Literally down to it taking 3 hours in total to do lol

I watch YT groomers in serbia and latvia who do free grooms on neglected and abandoned dogs, and this breed is the most abandoned. People over there eventually realize that this is a high maintenance dog and abandon it. They are picked up in the worst condition with chunks of matter and dirty fur. Very sad. On these channels, they shave the dogs and adopt them out with the suggestion of keeping the coat very short. Good video. You are so patient.

This gave me flashbacks to being the only thick curly haired girl at the salon, and the energy I got from the hairstylist: prepared for battle. Focused, very little niceties, pushing my head around where they were more gentle with my friends, me looking around trying to figure out what was happening bc they didn't have time to explain it to me, & do it at the same time, LOL. I'm feel you, Rasta Rosie

She is so gentle and cute.

Yu did great on her and she was so well behaved. What a pleasant dog. She looks great with her clean coat. Good job.

I have shoulder-length locs that get heavy when I wash them. I can only imagine how heavy this doggo's cords get! 😮 She is quite the cutie. 😊

I did know that one can cord poodles, but I never understood why one would want to.

She so cute I love that I can’t even see her face 😂😂😂😂 even with the scrunchy

The epitome of patience! Both girls, well done! ❤

"5000 years later", LOL! That was a fascinating groom. I've always wondered how the heck a corded dog was washed; I absolutely loved finding out. Rosy is such a cutie! Very sweet. I never imagined I'd actually get to see a corded breed get groomed. That's one thing crossed off my curiosity bucket list now. 🤩

Loved this groom. 5000 years later made me laugh out loud! Very well behaved puppers.

What a cutie! Rosie is so sweet! I will never ever get a corded dog.

Awesome seeing a dog with locks ❤ reminds me of my own locks 🤗

So basically, this dog has locs😅

I have a Cavapoo, and when I saw this dog, I thought, "OMG! How could the owners let her hair get that bad!" 😳 I am so thankful for the educational information that you provided! I honestly never knew there was a breed of dog with hair like this! She is a beauty, and I now know she is loved and well cared for by her owners! ❤

I use to volunteer at dog shows with 4h, the corded pups were my favorite. They were so chill, loved pets and never sang any songs. They also are the only breed who went right into my cleaning rake😂😂😂 like oh OK this is the pooing place. I have no idea what breed they were, but they were there every year. I'm unsure how many corded breeds there are as their breed standard.❤

What a good girl Rosie was for the grooming! She is such a beautiful dog. I love the scrunchie!!

That scrunchie is everything! ❤

They look so hilarious with the hoodie ear protection on! Their faces!

Rosie is a champ! So sweet and patient!

Her face is beautiful. It's nice to see a dog's eyes. She looks better! Good job, you're so patient.

I imagined if Rosie were to start shaking, it would be like one of those giant felt rollers in a carwash.

I work at a daycare for dogs and we have a Puli that comes and his name is Tickety-boo 😂😂

Amazing doggo and apparently amazing owners! She was so patient, and so were you lol

Thats dang scrunchie took me out 🤣❤️
