Client profile
Honey
Golden Retriever · 3 years
"Studio favourite. Tongue out, always."
Honey is the unofficial greeter at KAE9. She walks herself onto the table, holds a perfect stack for portraits, and finishes every appointment with a victory lap and her signature bandana.

Grooming plan
- Coat
- Medium-length golden double coat. Feathering on the legs and tail mats fastest.
- Cadence
- Bath, blow-out and feathering tidy every 4 weeks. Full deshed quarterly.
- Notes
- Snood for ear drying, finish with a light coat oil on the feathers. Tongue-out portrait at the end is non-negotiable.
From the owner
She gets bored quickly — keep things moving. If she paws at the table, switch tools rather than pushing through.
From the groomer
Best results when you let her see her reflection between steps; she resets her posture and the photos come out cleaner.
