One big one washed - and is now in his *sauna* drying something I heard from the Russian Groomers last National. After bath, cover crate completely with blankets - let your dog steam almost dry. Then the undercoat comes out well, and brushing is a breeze, a almost quick blow dry to shape and to dry pawpads, ears, loins/groins etc. And voila no undercoat rake needed
I am a tad dubious, but we shall see. But having him trimmed down sure does make bath time much faster!
I am happy either way.
