    • Interior

    • Base

    Correct Answer

    The framed area over the eyes should be ____________ for drop coat round heads

    • Hand scissored

    • Clipped

    • Shaved

    Correct Answer
    A. Hand scissored
    Explanation
    For drop coat round heads, the framed area over the eyes should be hand scissored. This means that the hair around the eyes should be carefully trimmed using scissors, rather than being clipped or shaved. Hand scissoring allows for more precision and control, ensuring that the hair is shaped and styled properly to frame the eyes in a desired manner.

    • A straight line

    Correct Answer
    A. Inverted “V”
    Explanation
    To give definition to the eyes and lengthen the muzzle on a face that is clipped close at the stop area, an inverted "V" can be clipped. This shape helps to create a visual effect that enhances the eyes and elongates the muzzle. It is a technique commonly used in grooming to enhance the overall appearance of the face.

    A. #10 or #15
    Explanation
    On round head styles, it is recommended to use a #10 or #15 blade to clip the stop area between the eyes. These blade sizes are commonly used for general grooming purposes and provide a close yet safe cut. Using a light touch is important to avoid any accidental cuts or injuries to the pet.

    • Clippers

    Correct Answer
    A. Thinning shears
    Explanation
    Thinning shears are the correct tool to use when trimming small brows on a rectangular head in order to eliminate a sharp line. Thinning shears are designed to remove bulk and create a softer, more blended look. By using thinning shears, the hairstylist can carefully remove excess hair without creating a harsh or defined edge, resulting in a more natural and seamless appearance.

    When removing excessive facial coat on a dog that has extremely thick fur, stretch the skin and slow the clipper stroke.  This will help minimize the unsightly _______________.

    • Corduroy tracking

    • Whiskers

    • Stretch marks

    Correct Answer
    A. Corduroy tracking
    Explanation
    When removing excessive facial coat on a dog with thick fur, it is important to stretch the skin and slow down the clipper stroke. This technique helps to minimize the appearance of corduroy tracking, which refers to the visible lines or tracks left on the dog's coat after clipping. By stretching the skin, the fur is pulled taut, allowing for a smoother and more even cut. Slowing down the clipper stroke ensures precision and reduces the likelihood of creating uneven or jagged lines in the fur.

    • Temperament

    • Size of the dog

    • Coat type

    Correct Answer
    A. Coat type
    Explanation
    The overall look of round heads on dogs can vary based on various factors such as skull type, ear set, muzzle length, and coat type. The coat type of a dog can greatly influence the appearance of its head, as different coat types can create different textures, lengths, and styles. Therefore, the coat type is an important factor to consider when determining the overall look of a round head on a dog.

    • Inconsistent

    • Dramatic

    • Consistent

    Correct Answer
    A. Consistent
    Explanation
    Creating a round head with clippers allows for extremely consistent styling from salon to salon and trim to trim. This means that no matter where you go or who is doing the haircut, the end result will be the same. Consistency is important in the salon industry as it ensures that customers receive the desired outcome every time, leading to customer satisfaction and loyalty.

    In most cases on a clipped face, going _____________ the grain will give you the cleanest result and the most immaculate lines.

    • With

    • Against

    • Along

    Correct Answer
    A. Against
    Explanation
    Going against the grain on a clipped face will give you the cleanest result and the most immaculate lines. This is because going against the direction of hair growth allows the clippers to cut the hair shorter and closer to the skin, resulting in a cleaner and more precise finish. Going with or along the grain may leave some stray hairs or uneven lines, whereas going against the grain ensures a smoother and more polished look.

    Correct Answer
    A. Eye socket ridge
    Explanation
    When setting in eyebrows on a rectangular head, using the eye socket ridge as a guide will help in getting them even. The eye socket ridge is the bony structure around the eye that forms a natural contour. By following this ridge, the eyebrows can be shaped and positioned symmetrically, enhancing the overall appearance of the face.

    • Nose

    Correct Answer
    A. Eyes
    Explanation
    When tying up a topknot, the size and shape of the skull play a role in determining the amount of coat to gather into the band. Using the eyes as a reference point helps in achieving the desired look and balance. By gathering the appropriate amount of coat around the eyes, the topknot can be positioned correctly and create a neat and polished appearance. The eyes serve as a guide for ensuring that the gathered coat is proportional and visually appealing.

    • Crease

    • Stretch

    Correct Answer
    A. Stretch
    Explanation
    When clipping the line that separates the topknot from the face, it is important to be careful not to stretch the skin. Stretching the skin can distort its appearance and make it difficult to accurately determine where the line should be. This can result in an incorrect or uneven cut.

    • Neck coat

    • Cheeks

    • Throat

    Correct Answer
    A. Neck coat
    Explanation
    Curly coated round heads often need the neck coat to be hand scissored into the head to be balanced with the rest of the trim. This means that the fur on the neck needs to be carefully trimmed or scissored in order to achieve a balanced appearance with the rest of the dog's grooming.

    On harsh coats, using _____________ with the lay of the coat will minimize sharp lines.

    • Clippers

    • Standard shears

    • Thinning shears

    Correct Answer
    A. Thinning shears
    Explanation
    Using thinning shears with the lay of the coat will minimize sharp lines on harsh coats. Thinning shears are designed to remove bulk and blend the hair, creating a softer and more natural look. By using thinning shears, the groomer can strategically thin out certain areas of the coat, reducing the appearance of sharp lines and creating a more seamless blend. This technique is particularly effective on harsh coats, which tend to have a coarser and denser texture.

    With long exaggerated brows on rectangular heads, remove the ___________ that are found just at the inside corner of the eye, otherwise the brows will cross over one another.

    • Eyelashes

    • Eye matter

    • Cowlicks

    Correct Answer
    A. Cowlicks
    Explanation
    Cowlicks are tufts or sections of hair that grow in a different direction than the rest of the hair. In the context of the question, cowlicks refer to the hair strands that grow inwards at the inside corner of the eye. Removing these cowlicks is necessary to prevent the eyebrows from crossing over each other, as they can disrupt the natural shape and alignment of the brows.

    For most breeds with a rectangular head, the top skull is closely trimmed to show off the __________ of the head between the ears.

    • Roundness

    • Level line

    • Curved

    Correct Answer
    A. Level line
    Explanation
    For most breeds with a rectangular head, the top skull is closely trimmed to show off the level line of the head between the ears. This means that the top of the head is trimmed in such a way that it appears flat and straight, creating a level line between the ears. This enhances the rectangular shape of the head and gives it a more balanced and symmetrical appearance.

    On a tied up topknot, always slide a _________ between the topknot band and the skull to ensure no skin is caught in the band.

    • Finger

    • Comb

    • Thinning shears

    Correct Answer
    A. Comb
    Explanation
    To ensure that no skin is caught in the band of a tied up topknot, it is recommended to slide a comb between the topknot band and the skull. This helps to create a barrier and prevents any hair or skin from getting tangled or caught in the band. Using a comb allows for a smooth and safe tying of the topknot without causing any discomfort or harm to the dog.

    • Eyebrow line

    • Deep-set eye

    • Balanced head

    Correct Answer
    A. Deep-set eye
    Explanation
    By trimming the stop area very close in drop coated styling, the long fur around the eyes is cleared, which helps to accentuate a deep-set eye. This means that the eyes are set deeper into the skull, giving a more defined and attractive appearance.

    To trim long eye brows on a rectangular head, use ___________ in reverse.

    • Clippers

    • Thinning shears

    • Curved shears

    Correct Answer
    A. Curved shears
    Explanation
    To trim long eyebrows on a rectangular head, curved shears would be the most suitable tool to use in reverse. Curved shears are designed with a curved blade that allows for precise and controlled trimming of the eyebrows. By using the curved shears in reverse, it helps to ensure that the trimming is done evenly and follows the natural shape of the eyebrows, resulting in a more polished and groomed appearance. Clippers and thinning shears are not ideal for this task as they may not provide the same level of precision and control.

    The fur on pet Terrier dogs normally does not have the _______________ required to frame the face the way a hand-stripped coat does.

    • Soft texture

    • Harsh texture

    • Smooth texture

    Correct Answer
    A. Harsh texture
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "harsh texture". This is because the fur on pet Terrier dogs lacks the roughness or coarseness needed to shape the face in the same way as a hand-stripped coat. The term "harsh texture" implies that the fur is not soft or smooth, but rather has a rougher feel to it.

    • Harsh coats

    • Wavy coats

    Correct Answer
    A. Harsh coats
    Explanation
    The correct answer is harsh coats. The question is asking for the third basic coat type that applies to round head styling on all dogs. The previous two coat types mentioned are drop coats and curly coats. Therefore, the missing third coat type must be harsh coats.

    On harsh coated round heads, using the tip of the ear to establish the length of coat helps evenly shape the entire headpiece in a _______________.

    • Balanced manner

    • Symmetrical look

    • Circle

    Correct Answer
    A. Balanced manner
    Explanation
    Using the tip of the ear to establish the length of coat on harsh coated round heads helps to evenly shape the entire headpiece. This means that the coat will be distributed evenly around the head, creating a balanced appearance. By using the ear as a reference point, groomers can ensure that the coat is trimmed to the same length on all sides, resulting in a symmetrical look. This technique helps to maintain a consistent and balanced appearance for the dog's head.

    • Clip with an “F” blade

    • Leave alone

    • Thinning shear entire muzzle

    Correct Answer
    A. Leave alone
    Explanation
    Leave alone. This means that if a natural head style already has a nice, neat muzzle, it should be left as it is and not altered or trimmed in any way. This suggests that the natural appearance of the muzzle is already satisfactory and does not require any further grooming or styling.
