It sounds like you might have found a great groomer! How fortunate that you ran into someone who has a wonderful groomer
I hope all goes well with her first appointment!
I used to bring my shih tzu to be groomed and he really liked his groomer, they even would have him hang out in the main room after he was done. I was always pretty happy with the way he looked afterward. The groomer moved and I didn't want to search for a new one. So, now I groom him myself - I really enjoy it, and so does he.
Belle (my yorkie) has never been to a groomer - she probably never will, either. I am lucky that she has a slow growing silk coat and I am letting it grow out. For now, I just tip her ears, and trim her feet.
