    BorderJacks and BorderStacks

    A border stack is usually %50 border, %25 JRT and %25 Staffy. Although where my pup is coming from there is border terrier also. So it would be double border/borderjack/borderstaffy. I've met a couple dogs from there, and they are amazing. All are CERF and BAER tested, and some are also hip...

    How to set up salon in garage?

    First check zoning to make sure this is legal, if you haven't already. Then call a plumber. It all needs to meet standards, and it's usually best left to a professional. Unless you personally know someone who is a plumber, then I would definitely open up the yellow pages.

    What brush to use on a boxer..

    I always used shedding blades on shorthaired dogs. You have to be careful your not too rough though. Anything rubber will work great, it grips and takes the dead hair with it as it goes over the coat.

    I just saw a Pom come in today. It had been shaved down recently. Now it's coat will not grow back in. It has bald spots and is simply ugly. Its only 4 yrs old and really looks like a short fat mexican hairless with a fluffy head. I will never shave a double coated breed except for a few...

    Timing Question

    I think 3 hrs is a good time for some grooms. Is this from bath straight to finishing? If so thats a pretty good time. Focuse on improving skills, speed comes naturally.
