When I get the fine comb and scissors out, it's a big job - usually it's just a 15 min run over with the pin brush, rake and slicker.
I only do it on this scale a couple of times a year. But it's worth it - his coat is so lovely afterwards. That of it which isn't on the floor or my clothing.

he looks pretty much the same, but he feels so soft and smooth and his coat ripples while he walks and in the wind.
'course, we've been out in the woods since these pictures, so he's all covered in bits of leaf and twigs and so on.

I have actually considered it. There's a dog groomer's training school just around the corner from where I live. I know a guy who has a portable dog-grooming van and he's generally booked up about nine or ten months in advance - so there's clearly no shortage of demand.
The last groomer I paid to do the job didn't do as good a job as I can, and I don't have an NVQ like she proudly displayed on the wall.

I have this feeling that whenever you do a job 'properly' very few people would do it better :)

When I had Samoyeds growing up, we would take the brush-outs from their spring shed, and put them in the woods behind my house, then watch the little birds (chickadees, nuthatches, finches, etc). take it away. Over the years, we found a number of nests that were lined with white fur. Spoiled baby birds in the old 'hood. :)
