I have never done any grooming, except for helping freinds. That was really just bathing and drying them off.

After doing just the few that I have, I need to say that I really admire those of you who do it for a living. Not that I had a bad time, but I don't think that I could do it.

As Jen said:
For anyone who want to attempt the job, be prepared, it takes a H#!! of a whole lot more than a love for dogs to do it.

I would take it to heart.
