So nice of you for cleaning and grooming bears as well on top of dogs, cats, and horses. Very versatile on your occupation. I can respect that
😂
don't forget a duck!

And A rat too
😅😅😅😅
Nobody mentions Gigi's patience and resilience in going thru 3 non-stop hours of grueling duel with multiple humans 😄😄😄 what a beautiful dog!
It's a beauty salon for dogs!
The way she disagrees with having her paws dried is so adorable.
I feel like the processes involved in grooming by nature are very grueling, even by our most lovely, loving, thoughtful and careful girl we all adore. But I hate the beauty parlour for myself as a human too.
Wow! Thems the furriest paws I ever saw!
Always start getting your doggies groomed at an early age so they become future Gigis. The groomers will ❤ and appreciate you for that too.
So Gigi is my girl and we definitely don’t do as well at keeping her mat free as I would like! With a pup of her size, if she wants to sit and not let me brush that day, she’s going to do just that. But she is the sweetest girl and I adore her. Thank you for all the love for my girl, despite some mats, and a huge thank you to Vanessa for making her gorgeous. Note to future Leo owners: brush them a ton as puppies!! Even when their puppy fur doesn’t need it. If I had done that more I’m sure it would have been easier going forward, so I know for the next one some day.
No kidding!
I have an American Akita and same thing if he doesnt want to be brushed cant do a thing about it lucky for me he doesnt matt to badly.
I have a comparatively tiny dog whose long-haired chihuahua grandparent gifted him with longer hair than you'd otherwise get out of a mix with mini-Pinscher and pug. I also strongly advise anyone whose got a dog with fur to reckon with to get them used to being brushed. He has almost no undercoat so his mats are all in his top coat.
She's absolutely gorgeous 💕
There are trainers that can get them more comfortable with brushing/grooming over time. Have you ever thought about trying that out? She does seem like a very good girl who could be trained so that daily brushing is easier over time, and most people I know with huge dogs so it in incriments throughout the week, breaking. It up into different body parts which lessens the amount of time and makes it a bit easier. Might look a bit silly until you get her used to it for the first few weeks, months, but it starts to even out and becomes easier over time! And if you can distract her with a movie (if she likes tv) or a peanut butter mat if she is food or treat motivated and you can have somebody else assist you for distraction, that world help a *lot* too!!
So sweet of you to give Chewbacca a bath. The crossover I never knew I wanted.
Um, it's actually Baby Chewbacca from the new C3PO Show. So obviously the main character is Jar Jar Binks.
@@handroids1981 See yourself out sir. We don't want no Jar Jar in here
Yeah, I almost feel like GWTD should have saved this video for May the Fourth 😂
😄 That was my first reaction. Hey! There's a Wookie.
One of the things I love about The Girl With the Dogs is the exaggerations: “After four hundred years she is dry.” 😅 “… while I spend the next decade cleaning my shop and pulling the hair out from behind my eyeballs.” 🤣 And this is only ONE of the things I love about The Girl’s videos. ❤️
Me too. That and the terms of endearment like "This big meathead of a dog".
Another one is “after 10 years of deshedding”
@@paulastenavage1785 🤗
And she’ll say these things without changing that calm, even tone, which makes it that much funnier.
same lol ❤
as a mailman i had 2 leonbergers on my old route. god only knows how much i miss both of them. unbelievably loving and fun to play. I used to laugh every day because you would see these big paws and this big old head just flying down the driveway running right out to me I loved every minute of it.
I must apologize for my misbehaving terrior. She absolutely goes mad when the mailman comes. I tried to convince her that you guys/girls are a great help to us humans but she won't have it.
@@joytotheworld2100 oh trust me i had a couple of small dogs that for some reason hated my guts! i did everything i could think to change there minds but no maam they were not having it.🤣🤣
@@ratpack0075I do housecleaning and have a couple of dogs who, no matter what I do, have a vendetta against me, the wielder of the scary vacuum cleaner. No bribe, no cajoling, no amount of promised scritches will sway them in their suspicion of me. Thankfully I have a couple of clients’ dogs who are my best buds and follow me throughout the house being helpful by lying in the way when I vacuum and redistributing their fur after I clean the old stuff away lol.
@@stephgreen3070 I'm also a house cleaner. One of the houses has a big Boxer & whenever I vacuum Lexy attacks it. I'm not sure if she is defending me or is jealous. When her human is home & we are talking she will lie down, expose her belly & wimper if she's not getting attention. It's pretty funny.
I've never heard of this breed. Will research. Beautiful.
I appreciate you telling us how long the grooms take and how much they cost. When people look at a gorgeous dog like this, it's easy to start dreaming of having one without considering the cost of upkeep!
Yeah, people easily underestimate the investment of both time and money it takes to care for animals.
@@Kath2378how expensive can cats be?
Gigi was so calm and patient through out the 3-hour grooming. What a sweet dog!
Gigi is German, so she is not patient, she is stoic 😂❤
Leonbergers are really really calm, absolutely lovely dogs
For the sheer amount of matting Gigi had in her coat, you really did a phenomenal job at making it look as neat as possible. It reminds me of that Samoyed you groomed just over a year ago that was so badly matted it literally broke a pair of scissors. Although both dogs were patient through their grooms, for a dog of her size I was actually kinda stunned that she managed to stand for pretty much the entire groom. Incredible work as always!
Gigi did such a good job I agree
They take breaks and she lets the dogs sit down and rest between takes. Especially important for big dogs to have sit down breaks.
Such a beautiful dog ❤️
Their coats are like silk the undercoat is like wool getting past that is work. I use the blaster dryer weekly even when don't go in water as gets the undercoat out best less brushing which mean when bathing less hair together wet and dry. Daily brushing is definitely a must though or easily matte as they love water the smellier the better as they have webbed paws like newfies

LEONBERGERS! The first dog my family owned. Such family-oriented balls of giant fluff. Absolutely love them!
They are really the best -- even with all of the shedding!
They are adorable. You need an industrial strength vacuum for the fur.
As absolutely loving as they are, not worth it. Too much upkeep
Although this is a wonderful, gentle and patient dog, I am glad to have a Doberman. Once briefly brushed and the beauty care is already done.
I hope that unlike these people, you brushed your balls of fluff >_>
I love that you highlighted the breeder matching puppies to families. I am a big believer in this as well. The breeder of our Greater Swiss Mountain Dog, doesn't have her puppy families choose their pups. Instead, SHE matches the pups to the families. And any time a situation isn't working out, there is a stipulation in our contract that we must return the dog to her specifically and not give it up to a shelter. Not that we would, but it goes to show how invested she is in the full lifecycle of every dog that comes from her kennel.
but I can't help wondering why they hadn't brushed her regularly to prevent so much matting
So much more ethical that way. Also shows true skill in breeding - if there is a problem - a breeder should know about it - that is what breeding animals is about - developing desired traits and figuring out how not to include undesirable traits.
@@Joolzratbag sometimes it’s because we try and they plop on the ground with their butt and won’t move… I have a great pyr mix and at doggy obedience classes they taught me to teach him to stand for this reason. Even Vanessa is having issues with this big pup.
My dogs breeder marched me to my German Shepherd and I couldn't be happier with him.
My friends used to have Leonberger. She was the sweetest, calmest, friendliest dog I’ve ever knew. The times she barked through her whole life could probably be counted on both hands only. Sadly, she passed two years ago. ❤
Since Leonbergers were bred with the express purpose of being companion dogs, not work dogs, it's relatively easy to socialise them, sadly they are not a very healthy breed though, and tend to not live very long and still accumulate high vet bills.
They are one of the breeds were a healthy died does do wonders though and can reduce the vet bills quite a bit and noticably increase their average lifespan.
"After 400 years, she was dry"
I love those little funny things Vanessa says, lol!
Absolutely beautiful dog! 😍
I thought for sure she was going to call Gigi's paws... Grinch feet! I love when she says that! 😂
5:18?
I love Leonbergers! I used to work at a boarding kennel many years ago, and we had one that came in regularly. He was a gentle giant and so sweet! He was also a bit of a rascal that knew how to open the latches on the gates. If you forgot to put the clip on, he would open the door to his kennel, and then try to open the doors for the other dogs. 😂
This is the largest dog I have ever seen and it's tongue appears to be about 18 inches long .
God knows much it would eat .
My Leo-mix was also an escape artist. He learned how to open the slider and the storm door. I worked at home, and as I would be doing my job, suddenly I’d notice the unusual quiet. Yes, his breathing was that loud. I’d hope in my truck, and drive through my neighborhood. Usually, he came running when he heard the engine, or he would be playing with the neighborhood kids. He always looked so happy when he saw me that I couldn’t be angry. He was groomed every 4 months or so and I groomed him daily. He was the best dog ever.
She was very well behaved. The dog too! :-) Seriously, that was like grooming a wooly mammoth! Respect. Being a dog groomer must be as hard as being an athlete. What a work-out!
Woolly mammoth is the BEST description I’ve seen😂
Well, my massage therapist told me that his mentor told him to condition yourself like an athlete because you'll be pressing into people for 60 minutes a day multiple times a day (He has 8 clients in a day he told me). I wouldn't be surprised if grooming has a similar philosophy.
There's actually a theory, that woolly mammoths were bulletproof.
I've seen it mentioned in one of Aleksandr Chervyakov's articles. Not only do elephants have thick muscles and bones under thick skin, but mammoths would also have had a layer of isolating fat, that modern elephants lack, tough, stringy, matted hair all over and on top of that a layer of baked mud.
It's likely that they would have rolled in mud like modern elephants, and when that dried, it formed sort of a clay armour.
That's FIVE layers between a hunter and the vital organs, and each of them would have been impenetrable for primitive human stick and stone weapons. Which implies, that trapping them in swamps and naturally occurring holes in the ground, waiting for them to weaken, was really the only method to capture and kill one, aside from chasing them over a cliff with torches at night.
Kudos to prehistoric humans, that they even just killed a single one of them.
And you can forget about the fairytale of humans driving the world's megafauna to extinction. There were not enough humans around at that time and they didn't have the tools to slaughter masses of large animals, let alone a five-layer mammoth.
The situation was similar to that in Africa in historic times: Native Africans didn't possess the weapons technology to really harm the popupations of larger animals. !Kung hunters in modern day Namibia, for example, can take down a giraffe with wooden spears, but it's an enormous effort and super dangerous, and they don't do it every day or week.
The populations of big game only started to dwindle in the 19th century. At that time Europeans had already settled in Africa with their firearms for a while, but it still took a considerable leap in weapons technology to develop rifles, that were capable of taking down an elephant, rhino, hippo or buffalo.
A tiny portion of humanity gained this ability not even 200 years ago. It's ridiculous to think, that this was common 10.000 years ago all over the world.
For the 400 years it took for Gigi to dry, the effort hasn't aged either of you. Good work and great client interaction as always ☮️❤️
Such an unusual color for a bear, and so well behaved! 🐻
Cat dog
NAWH JIT'S A FCKING HUGEASS DOG
@@gregjones3660 As much as I love cats, this bear / buffalo / mastodon… (mastodog??) is way, way more patient than even the sweetest and most tolerant cat I’ve ever known.
@@donotlendbookstome7923 yep
What a sweetie Gigi is! Boy, when she walked around the corner in your back yard, I thought, "Good gravy, a bear!" 😄
Leonberg is a german town about 40/ 50 kilometers away from my village. The coat of arms annimal of this town is a lion. In german a lion is Löwe, but in ,poets german' lion/ Löwe is Leu or Leo. So decades ago , a breeder wanted to breed a dog, looking like a lion.
Those must have been some of the most grinchiest feet we've seen lately. you give a great deal of love to some very lovely animals. Thank you.
Hello, can you subscribe to the channel?❤
Probably the cutest, fluffiest and most well behaved bear in the world 🥺
Oh yes. It IS a BEAR!
My favorite parts of these videos is always the trimming of the grench feet. It was especially satisfying in this video with Gigi’s really floofy feet.
I was amazed at her grinch paws. I've never seen that much fur on a dogs paws. She looked beautiful when she was all finished.
Yes those were the epitome of grinchy feet. ❤😊
My Dad's neighbors used to have a leonberger, and my sister and I would dogsit him every now and then. He was the most polite and timid giant and only entered the house after being invited in multiple times like he had to make sure he's not being rude. 😂
I was all ready to make a joke about calling in a hazmat team to clean up after Gigi, but then you upstaged me right at the end with the “hair behind my eyeballs” remark. Bravo you 2 !
It really does look like she's wearing fluffy slippers at the beginning. She's so fluffy!
Talk about Grinch feet! Wow, they really did look like that.
I love Leonbergers, they are such gentle giants. They are also very in tune with how people are mentally doing, therefore they are great therapy-dogs!
@daniqueendens7946. I'd have a nervous disorder just trying to maintain the upkeep on a dog like that. Certainly not for everyone, as loving as they are
One chewed a dog walker to pieces in the UK.
2:51 "Because You're Worth It." - L'Oréal
I grew up with a leonberger. It was my job to groom her. That was the only household task I was ever paid money for…for good reason. When she blew her coat, we called her fur our sixth food group.
Worth it. Teala Rae helped my parents raise me.
The 'matching the puppy with the owner' is really smart. When I got my (ragdoll) cat, she was matched with me based on my lifestyle, too. Very excellent choice.
I have always picked a puppy that picked me.
BUT 50 lbs of dog food + 25 pounds on pinto beans 25 lbs of rice and neck bones or hamburger. Every month. Sometimes it is Chile ( minus the 3 alarm heat).
They will let you know when it is done.
Just put it on in a crock pot.
The dog food is for their midnight snack.
Enough for one of those Leons or two Rottweilers.
Oh & having them in pairs is better for the dogs.
Now that I am past 3/4 of century. My dog tag team has a combined weight of 26 pounds. One of them is 15 years old and the other is 7 years old. They are all natural.
Lots of dogs live a long time and never go to the vet. Dogs in the country side live longer. Mine always had there own door to open.
The ones that did not make old age. Got bit by a copperhead or rattler. Happens.
Amen to everything you said about ethical breeders. Bad breeders/puppy mills only care about the $$$. (Also, when you were blow drying her without the hoodie, Gigi looked like a model in a Maybelline shampoo commercial. 😄)
Totally agree about ethical breeders and loved the "windswept Bardot dry" as well
Agreed.. and yes that was so funny I waiting for now buy Maybelline 😅
I don't wear makeup but I'd consider it now Lol. Total babe that Gigi. 😂 totally agree about the breeders too. All of my pups have always come from shelters. They make the best dogs.
I was thinking supermodel! ❤
Maybe she's born with it
Such a gentle giant. Never judge the book by its outer cover.
Thank goodness she was cooperative!
I love knowing they feel so much better after a good clean and removing that mats. Those were the grinchiest feet I’ve seen so far
Greetings from Leonberg, Germany 😂 those dogs are massive and beautiful!
Roman and Regina from Zwiger vom Kaniberg send their regards.

The look on the dogs face when she turns the doggy shower on
The tippy taps when you were drying her feet were so cute ☹️ what a gentle and sweet pupper ❤
“…and pulling hair out from behind my eyeballs.” 🤣
Well done, Vanessa! Gigi looks glorious!
Gigi wins the award for the Grinchiest of Grinch Paws!
She is clearly a well trained dog and was a very good choice to keep with little kids. I'm glad you had help with her!
Her little "don't blow dry my feets" dance 😂❤
SO. MUCH. FLUFF!!! Gigi is gorgeous, and what a beautiful gentle nature she has. I bet she gives the best cuddles.
I wanna hug her!
And keeps you sooo warm during the Winter months too. Cuddles and ❤. Just Perfect.
I have never seen a dog like that before. She is beautiful and so sweet natured!
I have never known a Leo with any edge to them. Wonderful dogs.
That dog deserves pretty pearly wings and a halo. Such a delightful creature!
What a well-tempered beauty! She must feel so much better after her spa day!
I like when you show the dogs in the natural light in your yard. Beautiful groom today!
Holy moly that’s one fluffy dog!
WE had a St. Bernard named, Heidi, when I was a child in the 70s and 80s. In the spring she'd lie out in the yard and let flocks of birds help shed her! They'd land on her and pull out tufts of her shedding coat! Of course I loved to help her as well! So satisfying to loosen and esp big tuft of hair!
I also had a pug (Herbie passed away Thanksgiving morning at 2am 2021) but he only shed twice a year... for 6 months at a time! I still find his fur everywhere, and I cry, smile and thank him for being the bestest boi I ever had.
My local pubs owner has a leonberger, he’s less than a year old and every time I see him I swear he’s grown a foot but he’s an absolute sweetheart outside of trying to hump you.
I'm going to groom my poodle today and will undoubtedly be narrating the entire thing in my head with your voice! 🤣🤣
When I saw the amount of fur stuck to her nose when you started drying her, I was really glad the happy hoodie was covering her eyes. You are so thoughtful.
I agree ! Vanessa customizes every dogs groom to their needs, wants (mostly) and has so many skills. The Groomer you want, that's for sure .
My mother had Leonbergers for many years - they are amazing, but be warned: They will follow you everywhere and participate in everything you do :-D
Vanessa....that beekeepers hat is sheer brilliance. My poodle's groomer had never heard of such a thing. I showed her your videos, she subscribed, liked, and was in awe!! As are we all. This groom was amazing, and you did a great job, considering what you had to work with. Thank you for being awesome!!❤🐶❤
I love how glorious she looked as you were drying her face, like she was in a high end shampoo commercial 😂
For some reason, my brain sang, "The hills are alive with the sound of music" during that little scene 😆
Literally my thoughts too!!! 😂😂😂 She is a glorious doggo 😍😍😍
The legend says that she is still out there cleaning her shop .... Trying to clean all that hair.😂😂😂
That was so satisfying to see thought. !
And Gigi was SO calm❤❤
Thanks for sharing that this size dog (and this furry of a dog) requires more than one groomer and how much it will cost to get groomed. And how long. The more realistic expectations people have regarding dogs and their care and costs, the better. The work you do is amazing!!
Love the job you do on the large dogs. My newf LOVES the groomer. She loves the brushing and blower. If he stops either, she whacks him with her giant paws lol.
Love your channel. So nice to have a happy, "clean" content, calm place to go on the interweb. 👍
I thought a woolly malamute was the fluffiest dog I've ever seen, but I think I was wrong! You worked so hard and she looks amazing!
I read that as "woolly mammoth" and thought "Great description!" 😂
@@toneddef Same
What a darling dog. Nice to hear that a responsible breeder choose her for the family. She sure does appear to be a great dog for children. So beautiful after the groom.
My families previous dog was a Leonburger.
She was the most beautiful, gentle giant that you could possibly imagine and she gave my family so much more than she ever asked for.😪
She's beautiful, what a majestic creature.
I'll bet her family adores her.
Gigi is very well behaved. She's so cute, and fluffy that at a distance she looks like a young bear.
I like to refer to them as leaningbergers because they love to lean against your legs. They are such gentle giants. I think I only met one, maybe two, but from what I have heard and seen on TV they are darlings.
I don't wanna judge the owners, but this kind of dog MUST be brushed every single day and sometimes more than once. It's a commitment that can't be avoided and I would hope they knew that when getting this breed.
Your calm energy always has a great transfer to your “ Clients “ .Your sense of humor cracks me up, but also teaches me the responsibility needed from pet owners to choose their pets wisely. Keep calm and groom on …
Very well said! 👏🏾
That was the floofiest dog with the most Grinchiest feet I've ever seen ❤❤❤❤
Such a beautiful doggo and so well-behaved. One look into Gigi’s eyes and it’s love. Hopefully the owners will set up a regular schedule for her grooming.
You would think it would be cheaper if it were more regular
@KeyboardWrecker It would be less per session but going more often + tip each time would end up being more expensive. I imagine since the cost of life and especially life with kids has increased significantly, it pushes grooming a little further down the list.
A beautiful, majestic lady with an amazing temperament. If a dog that big decided she'd had enough, that's the end of the session. You can just tell she has incredible patience which is why she's so good with kids.
Great video, as the owner of a huge Old English I appreciate how you contort and twist yourself around the dog to get the job done without causing anxiety for the dog. Your videos should be on the dog groomers course handbook
What a sweet, patient girl with the grinchiest grinch feet of them all! 😊
Gigi looks 1000% better at the end. That's a lot of work to keep this gentle giant looking good. She's absolutely beautiful! 😍❤
I am always so happy to see you properly socialized and trained large dogs.
I love the looks at the matting like, "woah, where'd that come from?"
😂
Gigi: "Whoa, all of that fluff came off of ME?!"
when gigi was slightly damp she looked like a gilly suit! i can’t believe she was so gentle and sweet for such a long groom, both vanessa (+ the assistants) & gigi’s owners should be proud :) i would love to spend the day with a leonburger, even if it meant back aching work
A LEONBERGER!!!!!😮😮😮😮💜💜💜💜 Absolutley one, if not theee, of my favourite breeds. They are such amazing dogs and the way you spoke of the breeder, I am 90% sure I know exactly where she came from.
My immediate thought seeing how fluffy that dog was "I wanna hug her, I bet she gives great hugs".
I shake my head when I hear people complain about the cost. I have a Great Dane and she takes me a good hour to properly groom. Love watching the big dog videos
What a good girl! It looked very uncomfortable for her with that matting, but she behaved nicely! So cute
She's one of the loveliest doggehs you've had on the show. So floofy and gentle.
those are the grinch-iest grinch paws i've ever seen! she looks so cute after her big spa day
I recently lost my 12.5 yo German Shepherd, she was also named Gigi. I’m glad others like the name
I love Leonbergers so much! One of the gentlest of the giant breeds in my opinion. Every Leonberger I've met has been so lovable and sweet. You did a great job with this one.
Already from the beginning she did look quite relaxed and like "OK, so now I'm here again, no big deal".
For her great size, Gigi has the sweetest temperament. Hard work, but oh so worth it. She's majestic 😊
When I first saw Gigi in the video, I was wondering what you were going to do with her paws. 🐾I had never come across a dog with floppy slippers like hers. I'm sure when they bring her back for another session, you'll be able to blend her coat the way you prefer, with your excellent standards. Her result today was marvelous considering what you started with.
I saw a Leonberger once in person. I think she was 3 years old. Very big, but very friendly and FLUFFY!!
She is, indeed, a glorious beast! I've only had the privilege of meeting one of these dogs in person, and he was such a huge lovebug; thank you for sharing this with us!
We think my mom had a Leonberger, her name was Betty. We are not positive but Betty was amazing. My mom got her from a rescue.
After 400 years she was dry!!!!! You go Girl. My dog is a 7 yo shitzu about 22 lbs. Totally wears me out. I just found your channel and I love it! keep up the good work! God bless you ❤️🙏💕🙏🙏🙏
This one dog’s hair-spa day easily equals 10 people getting their haircut 💇🏻♀️ and styled. You definitely deserve a long break after styling and de-grinching this beauty.
I learn so much for my own grooming business from you. Thank you for sharing what I call your "secrets". I know more on how to charge for large heavy coated breeds, and more on grooming cats. I had never seen the "Hazzard Helmet" until your videos, and I now own one. I clip the Murder Mittens first, if not declwed. Thank you ever so much for your info on the breeds and grooming. I enjoy watching your videos!
Oh no! The mention of declawed cat made me grit my teeth because of how declawing leaves a permanent damage on cats as well as as lifetime of pain and suffering, not just physically but also mentally. Sorry for this rant..
@@whatevergoesforme5129 don't apologise for ranting about it. Apologise to all the felines that have to suffer because some humans want cats but don't want to let them be cats. not to mention vets that actually torture these cute little balls of fluff by cutting off their toes. My heart bleeds for the cats that are made to suffer so
@@whatevergoesforme5129 both of these cats were declawed years ago, and I just started grooming them. I would have tried to talk these owners out of it. My first cat got declawed before I knew it was amputation. I've had many cats since and never declawed any others. Bobby thought he was a dog for the most part. He is long gone now. How I miss him.
@@xTerminatorAndy Thanks for your words. Our cats are allowed to do their thing even though it meant having our pieces of furniture take a beating but I learned from Jackson Galaxy how to divert cats' attention to where you want them to do their scratching.
@@dawntrottman1421 I see.
Leonbergers were used to pull German ammunition carts during WWI and only 5 survived. Every Leonberger that exists now is descended from those 5, along with a couple of Newfoundlands that were added for genetic diversity. I don't remember where I learned that, but I found it fascinating!
I love your dry wit amidst wet furnadoes. I love how you love these gentle giants. God bless you.
Our family absolutely loves your videos! Especially your poodle clients.
You're very kind! Thanks for all your hard work.
She's a glorious dog. She was an awfully good puppy during her groom as well. She turned out lovely. ❤
Idk why but your dog grooming videos is therapy for me ❤
She’s so cute and big and fluffy. I want to give her all the hugs and pets
The assistance part can’t be more than the truth! I remember when I worked my first job at a groomers a few years ago, the place was poorly managed with the place being understaffed with having me and my sister possibly doing up to 40 dogs and with dogs as big as GiGi I’d sometimes have assistance or I don’t. Oh, and I’d work overtime and not get that pay 🙃. I’ve never been that stressed out in my life
Gigi looks so much better after her appointment! She had so much matted hair! Gigi was well behaved as well which made it easier I'm so sure!
😮you are patient and caring for these pups!WELL DONE !!!°
I’ve never heard of a Leonberger! What a sweetheart.
Beautiful job!! I used to spend 6 hours once a week bathing and grooming my two Shih Tzu when I kept them in long coat.. My last dog was a Border collie/Sheltie mix who i brushed every day to keep him Mat-free and he almost never needed a bath. I appreciate the hard work you put into making dogs look their Best! God bless🥰
