Yes, I know that but I really enjoy grooming so it doesn't matter to me :) Most dogs (if not all) with long coats get everythig I described as not liking anyway, so even if I didn't like Tollers I'd still be stuck with it seeing as I seem to be attracted to the long coated breeds...lolQuote:

i cant keep my dogs nails as short as i would like.

and people who dont groom their dog/s. :rolleyes:
whats the point of getting a long haired dog and not groom it.
I hate mats, and really really long nails. Especially if the owner claims the dog has back problems or something... and the nails are almost curled under. :rolleyes:
On a personal level, and no offence to anyone that has their dogs like this, but I dislike corded poodles (it looks a mess!) and the lion clips on any dog. I just don't think it looks attractive.
smelly dogs, filthy fur, long nails & really bad breath.
I use to groom a few of the neighbourhood dogs when I was younger & living at home. I also did the same with my friends dogs & they joined in & gave me a hand with my own guy.
it was rare that my dog ever smelled or had non-soft fur (well as soft has his fur could get), his nails were good, ears were cleaned when I did mine (every few days), unless he went swimming, then they were cleaned when we got home.
Grooming is something I just love doing :)
Bear has really fuzzy feet and fuzzy ears and I'll be honest I think their cute, although I will admit to trimming the feet simply because if I don't, it just take 1 trip into the yard and he brings the yard back in with him. :rolleyes:Quote:

I did buy a pair of thinning shears for Christmas, I used them on his rear already and it looks good. When I get the nerve I will try it it on his ears, hopefully I don't mess up too bad. lol
I'm really lucky to have dogs that are easy to groom! Short fur, don't mind their nails clipped, and they stay pretty clean most of the time (Marta side-steps mud) so I don't have to give them baths all the time (I do about every 3 weeks).
But, my pet peeve is stinky dogs. We were pet-sitting a dog a few months ago who was 13 and never had a bath in his life! :eek: Yuck. I mean, he was really nice but whenever I petted him I felt stinky. I didn't give him a bath either because I thought it would be too traumatic for an old guy like him (he has seizures when he's stressed) and I didn't want to end up getting bitten. I just cleaned really well when he left.
13 YEARS?! Whoa... :eek:Quote:
