thank you for your remarks i always say they are gorgeous but then i would i am biasted lol the groomer is from Dial A Dogwash and his name is Alan he comes from Oxford to Swindon to do them and taking into account his travelling time and he spends a minimum of 1 hour with each dog he only charges me £60 which i am happy to pay for the results he gives, he always takes time when he arrives to sit on the floor and play and fuss them so that they are relaxed with him before he starts and of course they are in the van just outside the house which is nice as if i need to i can check on them. they get a hydro bath as well so i think the charge is reasonable
