Yeah, I'd be requesting a rough towel off only for him to avoid the dryer :) Seems a bit silly to have to reassure someone that I am willing to pay for the job I want done, before they even tell me if they'll do it. Out of curiosity, do you say no to Mal's because you find the effort of the job not worth the $ return?

Thank you :) Hopefully I don't have to resort to calling every single groomer! :p

Hey Persephone, The problem we have is getting all the loose fur out of his undercoat - you can spend an hour with a brush and still have loose tufts coming out. Essentially, he needs some TLC from a professional with industrial tools. Also, he's a big baby that is afraid of vacuum's :p Hiya, am sorry I don't have a recommendation, but is yours a Mally Ridgeback cross? I met someone briefly when I was leaving the fenced in dog park a week or so ago? Hey :) We're not 100% but we're pretty sure he's crossed with a GSD - he's a giant doofy blond thing. But it wouldn't have been us at the dog park as he isn't great with strange dogs.

We are having trouble finding a groomer that will take our Alaskan Malamute cross, as most don't seem to have facilities that cater to a dog his size, even if they supposedly take large dogs. Can anyone recommend a groomer in the Northern suburbs that would be able to take on the job? This hasn't been an issue prior as the at home regimen was sufficient, but ever since he was neutered he hasn't stopped shedding his undercoat, and everything and everyone in the house is covered in a layer of fluff!
