We had a collie when I was a kid. We bathed her in the sink in the cellar, all her life. In warm summers, we let her out and raced around until she was warm. In the winters, we used towels. Lots of arm work and towels.

Oh, maybe it is the arm work. I forgot about the surgery. Oops, sorry. I guess that is it?

Its to blow out the undercoat. Necessary for a young collie. The driers I had when I had my pet supply store were alllllll metro, but they were like 400 a piece and made alot of noise. I am looking for one that isnt as loud, but does enough for just one. I have a regular professional dryer for my borzois, but not enough to get that under coat out in a young collie. We dont have to back brush a borzoi..

We have a few different kinds of dryers at work -- I forget the name of the portable ones (the blue ones that buttercup also has). My favourite ones are the ones we have at the shop that hang from the roof -- very nice and powerful. We had two metros but got rid of both of them -- our dryers have 10X the power of those things -- the metros were frustrating beyond belief.
