I missed this post somehow ... anyway ... when I groom my dogs I groom them two different ways, one way for shows and another just to get them clean ... lol ... it is much more ardeous grooming for shows as you know .... trimming hair, paws, hocks, etc ... doing nails ... blow drying against the lay of hair ... etc, etc. .... we even use a different shampoo for shows, but for just a bath we use the old fashioned oatmeal shampoo, blow just to get them dry and trim the nails, clean ears and brush teeth ... it only takes about an hour or so per dog for a "home groom" .. much much longer for a "show groom" ...
