I really try to get to the show site early, with enough time to potty and excercise before I begin the grooming. I allow myself 1 hour per dog for grooming. Ironing the coat is really nothing, but allowing myself enough time to put up the topknot 3 times. There is an art to it and each dog's head, earset is different.
Oh! and always allow enough time for those unexpected accidents.....Always have baby wipes, paper towels, self rinse and a blow drier.
