Yesterday I groomed my shave down Lab. The lady always wants him a different length. I'll do a #7 or a #0 or a #1 1\2 reverse, yesterday I did a #2 reverse. Well she started to ask me when to bring her new puppy in for grooming. She's 14 weeks. I told her puppies should be started at 8 weeks but the law in area states that no dog can go to a groomers, day care or boarding until they have their rabies shot. So groomers in my area get to do our new puppies at 4 months. Then she asked me how much it would be. I told her I don't know, my boss does the pricing. Then she said, well I asked a groomer at (salon name here) and they would do a puppy for $20. So she asked me again how much it would be. Again I told her I don't know, I don't make the prices. Then she said that hopefully my boss would do competitive pricing and that it wouldn't cost as much as she would be full grown. I told her it wouldn't be, she said, "good because I don't see paying $XX for a puppy. That's how much Caper (the Lab) is and a Labradoodle is twice that amount for grooming.
Well a little about this lady. I've talked about her on here before. She's loaded. D&G sunglasses a suede and real fur jacket, ever year she has a new car. The list goes on. Her dad pays for most everything she has. She wrote a check yesterday for the Labs grooming and asked us to hold it till Tuesday because she just had to pay a really big bill. Can you say, the breeder. Her dad pays all over her bills. Makes all of her car payments etc. She blows her money on clothes. I wish I could do that.
Anyway when my boss got there I told him about it and he just laughed. He said, "we don't do any dog for $20". Then he asked me if she told that other salon how old the dog was and how big she was or did the other salon think it's an 8 week old puppy. I didn't know. My boss and I both had a good laugh. She spends a lot of money to buy this puppy and then doesn't want to pay to have it groomed. Boy will she be upset when she finds out that this puppy has to be shaved every single time like her Lab. Of course she has the poodle hair and she likes it long and curly. However this lady will not brush her dog, it takes to much time out of her day to do it. That's why she has her Lab shaved... LOL
