The Fancy Feather 🪶
Breed Standard Grooms 🎩
A little tradition, a lot of attention to detail.
Every breed has its own charm, and the right groom brings it to life. Our signature breed grooms combine an understanding of traditional styling with a considered approach to your dog's coat, comfort and individual character.
Designed around the details
From beautifully shaped faces to balanced body outlines, it's often the smallest details that make a groom feel complete. We take a tailored approach to every appointment, considering the breed, coat type and condition before creating a finish that feels neat, balanced and true to your dog's natural features.
A closer look at breed-standard styling
Breed-standard grooming celebrates the characteristics that make each breed recognisable. It takes knowledge, patience and a good eye to achieve the right balance, whether that's maintaining a traditional outline or carefully shaping a breed's signature features. Our priority is always to create a beautiful, well-finished groom while taking your dog's coat condition, comfort and lifestyle into account. Traditional styling can also be adapted where needed, so we can find an approach that works for your dog rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach.
From classic to distinctive
From the structured lines of traditional Schnauzer grooming to the sculpted shapes of Poodle styling, each breed brings something different to the table. We'll help you understand the options, discuss what your dog's coat needs and agree on a style that suits them beautifully.
A note on pricing
Our pricing reflects the time, skill and techniques involved in each style, with our listed breed-standard prices covering some of our more intricate and time-intensive grooms.
Not every breed-specific trim requires the same level of work, though. Some may sit closer to our full groom pricing, while others call for a simpler, more natural finish.

Your style, your way 🎀
Traditional breed styles are a beautiful starting point, but that doesn't mean there isn't room to make them your own!
Whether you'd prefer to keep certain features longer, soften a traditional shape or create a more practical finish for everyday life, we can discuss adapting elements of your dog's groom to suit your preferences. Our aim is to find that perfect balance between your dog's breed characteristics, coat condition and the look you love.

FAQs
Can you recreate a show-style groom?
We can discuss traditional and show-inspired finishes, depending on your dog's breed, coat and maintenance needs. We'll always be honest about what's achievable for your pooch✨
Does my dog have to be a show dog to have a breed-standard groom?
Not at all! 🐶 Your pup doesn't need a show-ring debut or a winning rosette to look the part. Breed-standard grooming is all about celebrating their breed, coat and natural features, whether they're a show dog or your much-loved sofa superstar. Everyone's welcome at Goose and Lettuce!
How often should my dog be groomed?
Every coat has its own little needs! Some dogs benefit from hand-stripping every 12 weeks, with a brush, bath and tidy around every 6 weeks to keep those gorgeous long feathers tangle-free and fabulous. ✂️ We'll help you find a routine that keeps your pup's coat in tip-top condition between visits!
