I'm sure you have the pick of the litter in NY for groomers, and good ones at that! But, you can teach yourself to groom, I did it, and they look good enough.
I brush Rosie 3-4 times a day! It really is a lot of work. Plus drying her takes twice as long as Mikki. And you are so right about genetics. Rosie's hair grows like crazy but Mikkis don't hardly grow at all. I only had boys so Rosie is my girly girl. I love pampering her and doing her hair. .

OP, Here is my sweet Rosie. If you are patient you can grow it out. But patience is the key word.

If I'm trying to grow out a long coat, do I hold off on going to groomers?-3c0460aa0b029e48ca568dc80edb585d_zps58246164.jpg
