Jazzy88 Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 Hi everyone, I live in the Hills district and have 2 small havanese dogs that need a desperate groom. Alas, the fantastic groomer who I used to go to is no longer in the business. I found someone else (a mobile dog groomer) but my furbabies were butchered! Meanwhile the search continues and my dogs are getting mattier by the day! I'm finding it really difficult to find another quality groomer around here. I'm desperate for suggestions?? Many thanks.

bedazzledx2 Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 I think nearly every State has a Hills district LOL Where are you???

mita Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 Yes, nearly every state has a Hills district. I'm guessing tho' you mean Sydney? I wish you meant the Hills district near me in Brisbane area (Arana Hills, Everton Hills, Ferny Hills). I have a superb groomer here, highly experienced & knowledgeable about the various breeds. Only yesterday, I took my tibetan spaniel, Annie, for coat stripping & tidy-up. Usual outcome, Annie looks gorgeous. When I said so, the groomers said...'It's in the breeding!' Yes, but as the OP found out, scissors & clippers in the wrong hands can make the loveliest of breeds look dreadful. (For any NW Brisbane person, this is Aunty Marg's Clipping & Grooming Service).

Jazzy88 Posted May 5, 2011 Author Share Posted May 5, 2011 Oops didn't think of that. ;) Yep, Hills District Sydney - Baulkham Hills. I do the general tidy up around their faces, bums, but don't think I'm cut out for doing the grooming myself. They are very hairy dogs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly! Depending on which groomer I go to they can end up looking like totally different dogs! And not in a good way either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skruffy n Flea Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 you could try nadia she works out of her home garage and is just down around the corner from me. i started taking my two to her in feb this year for the bath and groom and i'm pretty happy with what she did but my dogs' grooming needs are reasonably straightforward --- they're booked in for the next 3-monthly tmrw. and she does scissoring too... her hours are pretty good! i think she's picked up the majority of small/medium dog business in our area give her a call and have a chat.

Exactly! Depending on which groomer I go to they can end up looking like totally different dogs! And not in a good way either. I agree. The groomer has to know the various breeds well. First time I took my tibbie to this groomer, she immediately told me that any grooming work must never stop this p/b from looking like a fine example of her tibetan spaniel breed. And that's what she produces.... with a stripping of the double coat, the lightest tidy around pantaloons, tummy, ears & slippered pointed feet. It'd be so easy for a groomer who doesn't know the breed 'look' so well, to give a generic little fluffy dog 'cut'. I hope you find the same type of groomer for your havanese.
