For The Love Of Rosco Dog Grooming

For The Love Of Rosco Dog Grooming Rosco P. Coltrane is our 2 year old Newfoundland dog. This is his story. Many of you have been following Rosco's story for quite awhile now. It worked!
(32)

The past two years have been quite the journey with our special boy. At 7 months old we found out he had a severe genetic hip disorder in both hips. Our vet told us we would have to euthanize immediately as he was in severe pain. Our other option was two separate surgeries where both hip joints would be removed and that would not only require thousands of dollars but our lives would be put on hold

for at least a year while we rehabilitated him. It wasn't a hard choice. He had the surgeries but wasn't doing well. He needed hydrotherapy or we were facing euthanasia again. I made a plea on social media and it went viral.A local pool company built Rosco his own custom hydrotherapy pool. Our boy was finally doing better and after all the media attention not only was he sort of famous, but I decided to help many other dogs like Rosco in his pool. He is now 2 years old and totally pain free. He is the happiest dog in the world and he's my best friend. He needed care 24/7 for 18 months, we postponed our wedding, I switched to night shift to care for him during the day, thousands of dollars were spent, and I would do it all again in a heartbeat .Everything has always been "for the love of rosco". He has brought us together with so many wonderful people all over the world. This is why I decided to open a dog grooming shop for all breeds of all sizes but to specialize in "special needs" dogs just like Rosco. Whether they have a physical disability or a behavioral issue, they deserve patience and pampering too. No matter what obstacles your dog faces I will make special provisions to ensure they feel safe and loved while they are being groomed. My shop was built with these types of dogs in mind. No stairs or ramps to navigate. Non slip floors for ease and safety issues. Hydraulic tubs and tables with your dogs utmost safety in mind. Special appointments tailored for special dogs. And now you know the story behind " For The Love Of Rosco".

I’m sincerely sorry for any inconvenience and appreciate everyone’s understanding.

I was JUST talking to a client this morning about how I’m already starting to notice some of my double coated clients are starting to blow their coat early this year. Like REALLY early.
You can all thank Mother Nature. 😂
Then moments later I see my friend Jennifer Zifcheck Costello who writes my favourite blog, My Brown Newfies, share her blog post about this EXACT thing.
LINE COMBING.
Anyone who owns a double coated breed NEEDS to know what this is and learn how to do it. It’s SUPER easy but it is time consuming.
It’s the ONLY way to properly brush your dog to remove all that dead undercoat.
If you don’t want to learn it or do it … that’s great too as long as you make sure to book your grooming appointments appropriately . 💁‍♀️😉😂

Line combing or line brushing is a grooming techique used on dogs that have a double coat. When you line comb you groom the dog in sections to remove loose undercoat.

Happy New Year to all my wonderful clients !
I’d like to thank each and every one of you for your support in 2023. I’d also like to take this opportunity to thank those of you who were so generous and brought me some of the most beautiful & thoughtful Christmas gifts this year. They were truly appreciated and meant the world to me. ❤️

Now, I must apologize for all the people who have messaged me and are awaiting a response. 😔
The first 7 days of 2024 have been a challenge to say the least… which is why I’m so behind.
I have been trying to recover from a recent surgery ( I’m okay ! ) and am finally able to slowly start grooming again after being forced to stop working for 8 weeks.
My groomer that works with me ( Krista ) has also been off for a few days to help care for her husband who just finally received his hip replacement surgery.
Then, this past Friday night, my daughter’s husband had to rush her to the hospital. She’s been dealing with some awful issues with very painful kidney stones for the past year.
This time though, they were so large it wasn’t even possible for them to pass … so Saturday they had to call in the specialist and she was rushed into surgery to remove them.
She is now back home resting. She’s still in a lot of pain but hopefully she’s on the mend.
So….. it’s been a LONG and stressful weekend but I promise everyone I will be responding to as many messages as possible on Monday & Tuesday.
Thank you all again for your understanding and your kind words / messages. ❤️

I will NEVER stop trying to educate people about reputable & ethical breeders.
I lived through the nightmare of getting a puppy from a backyard breeder and I’m STILL living it TEN years later. 😔
I do NOT regret one thing.
I would NEVER go back and not choose Rosco.
He is my ❤️ dog.
He has taught me more than any other dog could have ever taught me.
He has changed my life for the better in more ways than I could ever count.
That all being said, I would never wish my experience on my worst enemy.
Rosco is the reason why I will NEVER stop trying to help people choose reputable breeders when deciding to add a puppy to their family.
It’s called “supply & demand”.
If people keep supporting all the horrible breeders in it for the money and NOT the health of the dogs they are breeding… they will continue to breed unhealthy dogs to unsuspecting families.
They do NOT care about the health of their dogs OR the nightmare the families go through.
They care about your money. 😡
Please do your homework and make sure you are not supporting any backyard breeders. ❤️

I see a lot of people on here talking about a reputable breeder, and how they will always take a dog back for you. And while this is true, nobody defines how you can tell a breeder is reputable.

Reputable breeders prove their dogs. Proving a dog is worthy of breeding. This happens before the dog is ever bred. Things like Conformation Shows (like the ones you see on television) prove that the dog competing is a structurally sound and correct example of the breed. A basic Conformation title will be a CH in front of the dogs registered name.
Performance Events prove a dogs workability, and proves that they can still do the job that they were originally used for. In Dalmatians, things like Road Trials, Barn Hunt, Rally and Obedience.

Reputable breeders health test their dogs. Each breed club works with CHIC and OFA to recommend specific testing be done prior to a dog being bred, in an effort to decrease health issues that can be prominent in the breed. For Dalmatians, these tests are screening for Hip Dysplasia (OFA Radiographic Hip Screening or PennHIP Evaluation), Congenital Deafness (BAER Hearing Test), and either Autoimmune Thyroiditis (Thyroid Lab Results) or ACVO Eye Examination.
These tests are not completed at a "vet visit" and a healthy exam at a vet does not mean a dog is a healthy breeding candidate. If a breeder you are looking at does not do these health tests, they are not a reputable breeder. They should also be more than happy to show you the results of these tests.

A reputable breeder doesn't only pair two dogs together because they both happen to be Dalmatians. You should be able to ask a breeder why exactly they paired these two dogs together, you should be able to ask about the dogs in the pedigree that are long gone, and your breeder should have basic information on these dogs and what they could bring to the table in terms of how your puppy may act. Breeders that get a "breeding pair" or tell you the reason why they paired these two dogs together is to create specific colors or coat length, are not reputable breeders.

Reputable Breeders will help you pick the best puppy for your family. These people have raised your puppy from birth. They know more about them than you will by just seeing pictures/descriptions/visiting the puppies. You should be able to tell your breeder the exact reason you are wanting a dog for, and they will be able to tell you which of their puppies would be the best fit. If a breeder is going off of a "pick" system, and when you place a deposit tells you that you have "fourth pick", that is not a reputable breeder.

Reputable breeders will have you sign a contract. A contract looks different for everyone, but the contract protects the buyer, the breeder, and the puppy. A contract will state that if anything were to happen, the breeder will take the dog back. It usually talks about when the dog is to get fixed, if the dog is ever to be bred, and verifies the dog will be living in a safe household.

Reputable breeders send puppies home well socialized and ready to spend their lives with you. These puppies will be happy go lucky, healthy, and have the best chance at being a temperamentally sound adult that will bring you a lifetime of happiness. There are many other ways to figure out if someone is or is not a reputable breeder, however if you find a breeder that does all of the above, you can have a good indication that the breeder you’re looking at, is a reputable breeder.

I am about to spontaneously combust with excitement! 🤪
I am having some VERY special visitors coming to see me thiis afternoon.
Shelley Millett is bringing Mama Newf ( Khloe ) and her 3 baby Newfs to my shop so I can do a special Christmas / Grinch photo shoot with them ! OMG OMG OMG!!! ❤️
The babies are 6 weeks old and this is their very first “outing”.
I’m not bragging or anything…. I’m just sayin’. 😂😂😂
There is a slight chance I just may cry tears of joy today …..
There’s not much in this world that makes me happier than Newfs. 😍☃️🎄🐾

I truly have the best clients in the world. ❤️
Many have become much more than “clients” to me over the years though, and I truly consider them to be friends.
One of these friends brought me a gift today, and I was truly speechless at the sheer thoughtfulness of this gift. I was actually stunned when I opened it, and then I cried. Like full blown ugly crying.
This was one of my favourite pictures that was taken in Colorado Springs when I went there for the Fallen Firefighters Memorial in honour of my father.
I will cherish this for the rest of my life. ❤️
I am just so very thankful that circumstances brought us together 7 years ago Nancy Parker.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart. 😉

PLEASE stop doing this!
You do NOT need to stick your hand out in a dogs face for them to smell you.
Their sniffers are a thousand times better than ours, if they are in the same room as you they can smell you just fine! Lol
This is a VERY good way to get bit by a dog, especially if you are standing up and leaning over them when you stick your hand in their face.
To a dog, this is just plain rude and a complete invasion of space.
The best thing to do??
IGNORE the dog. Do not look at them, do not talk to them, and do not approach them.
If the dog wants to meet you and be your friend they will let you know. Trust me. 😉

These two Newfs got their PRE Christmas groom today! ❤️
I remember when I first opened my grooming shop my dogs always looked homeless and got groomed last. Well that didn’t last very long because I said NO MORE.
My dogs are my priority damnit and from that day on they became the best groomed Newfs in town. 😂😂😂
I’m not sure how happy the girls are about that today… probably thinking Geez… we came all the way from West Virginia and we had to get a mom that was a groomer ?! 😂
They love me though and I make sure their grooming appointments are filled with LOTS of their favourite liver! ❤️
Part 2 of their pre Christmas groom happens tomorrow and then I have a special surprise for them… 😉
