Behavioral issues
We DO NOT shave double coated dogs. As described by Dr. Jerry Klein, the AKC Chief Veterinary officer “Shaving that coat to reduce shedding or supposedly to keep the dog cool also eliminates that insulating layer of fur makes the dog susceptible to heat stroke and can result in improper hair growth and the possibility of follicle damage. A dog’s fur coat protects him from sunburn and decreases his risk of developing skin cancer.”

Puppy 1st Groom
Puppy’s first groom should be as soon as possible to ensure your puppy becomes accustom to the noises and vibrations of the grooming equipment used. Fees are reduced due to the body not being trimmed. Instead, it is an introduction to table etiquette and the health/maintenance process of grooming.
