It doesnt take that long for a groom but they want them there so they can groom them at their convenience. When Ours are groomed we drop them off at 9 in the morning an pick them up at 4 so 2-3 hrs doesnt sound that bad to me. You could ask he if she has any idea about when she would be doing the groom because you want to watch. I think that it is good to watch the first one |
