Here she is. Meet Miss Betty! It was a long day of traveling Saturday to get her. I flew out to Toronto and back in the one day . The breeder met me at the airport with her. The plan is to show her.Her show name is Ursadore Ti Amo. Ursadore is the kennel name of the breeder and my maiden name is Scott. Our Scottish clan crest has the motto Ti Amo (I love) on it . The Golden Retriever is a scottish breed.

Love Finlea. She has such a fun coat to work with. She loves it when you tell her she is such a good girl. She is usually kept longer but it's still camping season so shorter is easier for now. We will fluff up again for winter.

I'm trained through Paragon School of Pet Grooming.

Did you know that pet grooming is a completely unregulated industry? There is no requirement for formal education, no required continuing education, and no required testing or certification?

Anyone and everyone can just pick up a pair of clippers and start advertising themselves as a groomer and charge people for a service they aren’t trained to perform.

It’s completely up to you, the owner, to do your research and make sure the person you are trusting with the health and safety of your pet is qualified to care for them.

Every groomer should be trained, and that very basic training takes months.

It takes years to truly master the ins and outs of grooming and everything that goes along with it.

Pet grooming is so much more than just a hair style.

*It’s knowing dog behavior and how to safely handle all the different personalities and quirks.

*It’s recognizing health conditions that would be better suited seeing a vet such as skin or ear infections.

*It’s being prepared for any and all emergencies that can happen, from seizures to allergic reactions, to nicks and cuts and quicked toenails without panicking.

*It’s knowing how to best deal with a variety of coat types properly.

*It’s being able to know when to stop a service on a particular dog due to behavior or health.

*It’s having the knowledge and patience to handle a different species while holding razor sharp clippers or 8 inch long scissors.

At the very least, the groomer you use should seek out continuing education to make sure they are current on the changes in the industry, from upgrades in products to tools that make the process easier for the pet and them.

They should be current on their pet cpr/first aid certification which needs repeated every couple of years.

They should be able to answer your grooming related questions with knowledge and confidence and if they don’t know the answer they should know where to find it.

They should have an emergency plan in place with a local veterinarian in case anything happens, because when working with animals it’s not a matter of if something happens, but when.

They should come recommended by other pet owners and pet professionals.

And it’s worth noting that there is nothing wrong with using a groomer that is still in training, but they should be working alongside an experienced groomer and under their direct supervision.

Ask the questions, after all you are paying them for a service. A groomer who has spent time and money to be as educated as possible is excited to share their knowledge!

So I did a thing... my birthday was yesterday and I bought myself a new puppy. I pick her up Saturday. You may notice her hanging out in the grooming space getting used to all the noise. She is my new show puppy. Meet Miss Betty.

This handsome dude has the best personality. Came in for a clean up. (No I did not do the hack job he has) He was very scared of the water at first but we took it slow. He eventually got to the point where he was telling me where he liked the water and especially where he liked the dryer, which is under his chin and on his chest. We practiced getting on and off the table and practiced sit and come while we waited for someone to pick him up. He is such a happy and chill guy. His name is Murphy and can be found at Heaven Can Wait Animal Rescue Foundation AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION
