Is this legal?

Can a business state they are looking for a female only (or male only) groomer?

[Frenchie]

I don't think so! That's discrimination!

I don't think that's legal, and why would anyone say that? While some dogs are fearful of men, some of the top groomers are guys. Have had both, and it was great to have a guy around to help with the heavies.

I heard in some jobs it can be, but in a grooming environment I wouldn't think so.

If it's a live in situation and there's a roommate involved, it can be legal. I know of a few boarding kennels that commentate staff with housing and they're legally allowed to have a gender preference since there's shared living.

Fact is that most groomers are female but I love having at least one male around, balance those energies LOL. Serious fun. Some people think having fun with grooming is not safe or serious. Actually I think having fun is being the best groomers without stress.
