I too would not use myself a crate dryer, nor take any of my dogs to a groomer that does.

I have not seen horror stories, and I won't open that link.

In fact other than my breeders (for my two breeds) I trust no-one to leave my dogs alone with for grooming.

I essentially for day to day grooming groom my own, for show grooming, as sadly I lack the talent for that, I have been blessed with my breeders to mainly do for me.

I actually lust after a Stand Dryer, which is a different kettle of fish from a crate dryer. But they are an upright dryer, you can direct the air flow to different parts of the dogs body as you slicker the hair dry.

They are quite expensive, and as I have count em, three high velocity dryers, one mini, one CC, one double duty XX, my husband looks askance at me, when I mention the stand dryer.

I am hoping to find one on sale, or a "rehome" dryer. With if we get a new show lass, I could probably make a case for it, of course after I get that dog bather stainless steel tub installed :-)

But I am also lusting after a very safe high end crate, which seems to retail at about $1000 for the small ones...

Thank God for hubby who indulges me lots....
