Visiting Maryland, need a groomer

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Poodle Support Group : One Thread

Hi there Group, My name is Lisa Day, and I show Standard poodles in obedience in So.Cal.

I will be attending PCA this year (for the first time, ever) and I was directed to contact Bill Stern ("the Cookieman") who belongs to this list, as to where I may find a grooming facility in close proximity of PCA. I'm looking to try and find some place that will allow me to use their facility to just "freshen" up my 'partner' on the 11th of June before I show at PCA on the 12th. I'm a professional groomer by trade (over 20+ years),and I'll just be needing the use of the facility,I'll have my own equipment with me.

Can you help? Any info that can be provided will be greatly appreciated.I'd much rather take a recommendation from someone, than just pull a name out of the local phone book. TIA Gratefully yours, Lisa Day & "Tudorose Needin Profeshnal Help", UD

Not sure where the show is, but the groomer at Kindness Animal Hospital in Silver Spring, MD, has--or, had about 7 years ago, standards. I quit using her, not because I was unhappy with the results, but because my buddy dragged his feet and lowered his head and tail when we went there. I do my own grooming now. It's a bad haircut, and I basically do a puppy cut with topknot and pompom, but we're both happier with the arrangment.
