Should I find a second groomer for new OES puppy?
The only worry is she's never groomed an OES, she's made several comments about being happy to really sit down and research and learn, and honestly I trust her. I'm just wondering if I need to start looking now for a back up just in case? |

| I think you should give her a chance, she has been really good to you. If she can't do it or do it as it should be done then you can talk to her about it. If she doesn't know what you want or what you expect she can't help you though. I would be sure to tell her whatever you know or even point her in the direction of this forum to ask questions. Even tell her to check out the facebook oes page because there are several groomers who frequent the page. It may be challenging even for a groomer who hasn't done oes before. There is no way to convey that because people rarely believe it when you tell them. You also need to be realistic with the groomer about how much time you are willing or able to commit to your own grooming. Unless you are prepared to keep the dog pretty short the groomer isn't likely to be able to keep up with infrequent visits. Puppy stages don't count because they will be very simple until the first coat change, Good luck and don't hesitate to ask questions here - we have some members with tons of experience! Shellie |
| Both our current dogs go every two- four weeks and get brushed nightly, I REALLY try to keep up with the hair! I'm not saying a mat hasn't happened here or there though. I think we plan to keep him in some sort of puppy cut, we keep the poodle in a modified German cut to make it easier since he LOVES water and when our boys wrestle his ears and tail get chewed on and mat up! I really do adore our groomer so I think you are right I need to give her the chance. She's so good to our boys, she had us being them in weekly for nails or brushing as puppies for 10-15 minutes for like $5 so they really got to know her and are SO SO easy to groom even at home. |
