I got this message below from a Berner owner who is not on the list. Since I
am far from a show ring grooming expert, I thought I would ask for opinions
to pass on to her. (When my Bean was finishing his Ch I was using my own hair
dryer and grooming him sitting on our kitchen floor!)
Thanks!

"Vilma,
I am looking into buying a blower for grooming my dogs at and for dog shows.
Basically, I need something portable, but powerful. How many HP do I need?
Can anyone recommend a good brand? I have heard I should avoid blowers that
blow warm or hot air. True?
I am also interested in getting a grooming table with wheels on it.
Does anyone know if there is a website that offers these for a good price?
And of course I was thiking I need thinning shears for my dogs ears
and feet. I'm thiking I should buy a good pair. I there a brand someone
could recommend?
I guess with the number of shows I would like to attend, it is easier
for me to groom my own dogs than pay someone. The groomer is often too busy
to get mine in for an appointment and is at somewhat of a disadvantage
because she does so many breeds, and I kow what I want my dogs to look like.
Thanks in advance for any assistance."
