I groom Carter myself but have taken him twice to a groomer also.

The first grooming was a nightmare because they shaved his nose and cut bangs! ARGHHH

The second groomer was fantastic at her job but I don't like the conditions at her place. Besides . . . she requires that you drop off your pup in the morning at 9 AM and usually doesn't allow you to return until late afternoon. I was lucky -- Carter was only there from 9 AM to noon but that was too long for me while she had a total of 13 dogs there in her possession!

I'm still looking for a good groomer to use once every quarter or so.
