Yes, certainly part of what appeals to me about the UKC is the lack of grooming stress. I could fit everything I need into a small tote! If I need to use some product in the AKC ring I will, but a lot of it I don't even really understand what it is yet so I won't be going there.
You guys are certainly helping me git rid of some of my butterflies. Thank you.
If I can't find a groomer that can help me out I will attempt some scissoring myself. I guess the worst that could happen is them discounting her in the ring and other competitors laughing at us

I'll still manage to have fun with my pup.
I have a 30 & and 40 blade, I have been using the 30 on her. What would you recommend for shaving 4/5 days out?
