I always blow dry! I start out with a higher setting and then go to a lower setting to finish. You just dont get the same "look" when you air dry and you definately wouldnt air dry if you are showing. I brush with a pin brush as I dry so there are absolutely no tangles. By air drying, you are "setting" in the tangles and you have to brush much longer to dry the dog there-fore you will have more breakage of the hair.
Also, be careful of those air-force dryers that blow the water off the dog. They have so much force that they can do damage to eyes and ears with an accidental direct hit. |
