By the way if the Lhasa you are speaking of gives you such a hard time...why groom it anymore?
Thank you for letting me have my opinion too!!

I just have to say one thing here.... I was introduced to Lhasa's many years ago while helping a handler. As I reached into a ex- pen to rotate dogs one tried to bite me and the handled informed me that, that is not a Shih Tzu that is a Lhasa and they are a very different dog. After grooming for almost 30 years I have learned that statement several times over.....It is true that we can not lump all Lhasa as biters, but as groomers we know that this breed sends up red flags. We have seen them bite their owners too and yes there are other breeds that bite.
The worst dog I ever groomed was a Lhasa and I groomed him for 12 years and I kept asking myself why, as I stressed over it every time I saw his name on the appointment book. It was his owners, they were very nice and for some reason they loved this dog. Even though Bochi would bite them, they loved him.....So with a bit of drugs from his vet and a muzzle in hand we did the deed.
When I got the phone call that Bochi had gone to heaven I was sad for his family, but when I set the phone down I was smiling, rest in peace Bochi... |
