 groomers
I would learn to groom yourself!!! I used to work for a groomer/AKC judge/breeder of top champions. The day I walked out was the day this groomer thought she killed a client puppy. This was the puppies first groom. It was afraid of all the noise, clippers and dryers. The groomer yanked that puppy up with a choke chain and shook it until the puppy was bleeding from the nose and passed out. The groomer thought the puppy was dead and shook it some more until the puppy regained consiousness. Needless to say, the puppy just hid in the back of the kennel and drooled. I couldnt believe that a person in the grooming/showing/judging business for over 30 years would do such a cruel thing. That person is to this day still open for business.
It is a little costly to buy the supplies up front, but in the long run, it will save you time and money and you will get to spend quality time with your Yorkie.
Not all groomers are like this, but you never know what goes on behind closed doors. Lynn |
