Do Golden Retrievers require grooming?
Golden Retrievers require regular maintenance grooming to keep looking their best. As a professional groomer and a breeder of show lines I have always recommended that anyone looking to this breed learn how to properly brush and if possible learn to scissor their own dog. Most pet groomers unless they have apprenticed under some one who shows this breed does know the finer points to grooming a golden and generally leave ears and feet untidy. Most breeders are willing to teach anyone how to groom a golden, pass on tips they have acquired over the years that can make coat maintenance and trimming less of a chore and your dog looking smart. This offer is usually extended not only to the client but the clients groomer.
