We never took our dogs to a groomer. It is not something, which ever even occurred to any of us. If any of us had thought of it, we would probably have regarded it as too expensive anyway. There was a groomer quite near to us, which had humourously called itself, "Doggy Style". Nonetheless, we did not take either of our dogs to them or anyone else. One of our dogs had a very short coat anyway. As a result, it would never have been necessary to take her to a groomer or for anyone to trim her coat. She was a Basenji. Besides, she was so aggressive she would probably never have let anyone near her to try to do anything like that. With scissors around, it would have been too dangerous both for her and anyone around her. I suppose we could have taken the other dog. She was a Collie-Labrador cross and had a much thicker coat. She was much more docile and would probably have enjoyed the attention, to be honest. However, since we would have regarded it as largely cosmetic, the idea never even arose.
