The girls who groom our dogs now don't mind, they are wonderful. When we first got Huney I brought her in & told them her story & they didn't care a bit!
But when we first got our RB Keisha I got turned down by quite a few shops And let me tell you Keisha was the best ever at being groomed. She'd always just stand there & not move. I always had compliments on how wonderful she was (even though it usually took a full day to groom her ).
I just don't understand why chows have such a bad rap
