Let's see I have 3 Yorkies in full/long coats, they take about an Hour a piece
to Condition & Brush. Their Daily morning "Grooming Routine" is about 15 min.
before their first walk, I wash their Eyes/Faces, brush their Teeth every morning and I try to Brush them twice a day, once in the morning and once before Bed time to put them to Sleep! I also shave/tip their Ears, File down their Nails w/a Pedipaw, Trim around and between their Feet and Sanitary Shaves w/a Clipper but I never do them all at one time b/c we don't have the Patience to do it all at once! I split it up on different days.......yesterday I shaved their Ears and today I will do their Nails. Yes, they are very high maintenance, but it's worth all the Compliments I get, since I'm the "Groomer"!
I only work once or twice a week in the Evenings, but my Fulltime Job is being their "Personal Attendent", too bad I don't get Paid to do it, it's the Best Job I ever had and the only one that makes me "Smile". They always seem so Happy to be Clean? Today is Bath/Spa Day and that is 1 hour a piece
too! I take breaks in betweeen to alleviate muscle cramping from standing @
my Kitchen Sink so long and I try to sit while I'm Blow-drying. A true labor of Love.
