Hey JJ I also live in southeast charlotte. I take louie to the very best groomer. It is Bark 5th avenue in Matthews. They are located in the festival shopping center. They are awesome!!! I have used other groomers in the past with my other dogs and have found this one to be the best. If you would like I can give you their number. Just pm me and I would be happy to help. They are also very reasonably priced.
Hope you give them a try..
Louie is so happy when he goes there and when I pick him up and they are educated and experienced with all types of cuts.
