I use a blow dryer from Sharper Image...one of those Ionic ones...I love it! It's QUIET, number one...and number two, it's quick! 1875 watts, put it on the second setting and put it about 12 inches from the little one and constantly comb or rub the hair while it's drying and in no time it's dry. NONE of my dogs mind the Sharper Image Ionic Hair Dryer....but yet they'll run away barking from others. LOL
