  My groomer is the owner and I do tip.  That line has gotten so blurry in the last decade (for hairstylists as well).  It used to be taboo but now it seems no one knows what to do.  I always tip owners and they always accept.  I'm on the fence if I think that they should though.  I would do what you feel comfortable with but I do agree, a Christmas gift is always a must.
