I welcome most breeds, providing I can actually get them in a bath, (although I have groomed very big Newfoundlands and one Saint Bernard on the terrace with a shower hose!) and have, over the years groomed dogs of all ages and quite a few temperaments. My oldest customer at the moment is 15 and the youngest 12 weeks! Do please contact me should you want to discuss grooming your dog, and any particular requirements. *A human being casts off up to 130 hairs a day, just think how many your furry friend loses! And please, do not believe there is such a thing as a non moulting or non shedding breed!! This is a very naughty myth - all dogs lose hair: some dogs (Golden Retriever / Labrador / Pug will cover you and your carpet in hairs; others (Shitzus, Lahsas and most Poodle or Bichon Crosses etc) will fool you - simply keep the hair in their coat and this can often bring about horrid results. These dead hair mats tend to form just over the skin, which means you may think their coat is well brushed and unmatted but this is not the case. The test is to comb through your dog's hair, right through to the skin (without cheating). If you cannot do this, book you doggy in and explain the situation. As a responsible groomer we must not demat a badly matted coat as, over a certain percentage of mats, and depending on where they are located we would hurt the dog. None of us want to do this and the Animal Rights Act clearly and reasonably states we should not.
