Ok long story short...
Currently we live in S. Korea, my husband works for the DOD here. We got our Lucy when she was 2 months old from a soldier who didn't complete his papers on time and couldn't PCS with the puppy. We inevitably fell in love with our little girl as soon as we saw her, he didn't know a lot from the breeder he got her from and we really didn't care as long as she was a healthy puppy.
Lucy is 8months now and she is precious to us, part of our family my son and husband just adore her. We are fine with the fact she doesn't have the silkiest coat, we've bought the Chris Christensen shampoos for her and she looks gorgeous when we bath and comb her.
As for Korea groomers.....
I rather have a professional to cut her hair, the first time I took her to the groomers, I went to pick her up and she was shaved entirely she was shaking and shivering like a leaf, my poor baby was cold. I thought they didn't understand me but I swear I was not going to take her to the same groomer again. Three months later, her hair finally grows back but really needed some style and I searched for better doggy salons near our area. Two of the groomers wanted to shave her AGAIN! Fortunately I was not letting her until I got my point across of no shaving I nearly went into an argument with one of the Korean groomers over this
. Finally I did found one that was willing to just bath and trim her hair and she looks so beautiful BUT...he didn't let me go without telling me that next time is better to shave her.
Of course I'm willing to hear any groomers recomendation, but why the need to shave? In Korea is their way or no way...for everything. Her hair is not that bad!
Anyway I think I will have to learn how to cut her hair, I bet is not that difficult. Time to get me some safety tools for that and start watching videos.
Sorry for the rant, I really needed to get it out of my chest. Can't say all Korean groomers are bad but didn't feel the 4 I've visited so far have the knowledge and skills to style the doggy's.
