Dog Grooming Dryers

[luvsdogs]

I'm looking to buy a pet dryer. I have 3 long coated dogs, a border collie & 2 Japanese spitz. A human hair dryer is just too slow & doesn't remove the undercoat like a pet dryer does.

I have finally found a store nearby where I can purchase one as I won't buy online. I am looking at 2 possible choices & would appreciate advice on which one would be better.

or

http://www.ozgroomingworld.com.au/aeolus-cyclone-grooming-dryer-with-heater-p1483/ for an extra $90 this one comes with a stand but not sure I would need this.

I also want to purchase grooming scissors to trim their feet only.

And a show trolley, is this a good reliable brand?

I use this one with my border collies and have done for years.

We recently purchased the Aeolus one online (maybe even that website - it was my Christmas present :) )

If you know the area you'll be grooming in you can determine if you'll need a stand or not, generally I wouldn't think you'd need one if you have benches/tables you can use instead

I think I have the wahl scissors you posted (been years since I bought them) - you'd need straight ones for the hock and I'd prefer curved for the feet but you could use straights for that as well

can't comment on the trolley - if you're showing do you trim the feet?

Thanks ness, that's the one I've been leaning towards.

Thanks also Vehs. I haven't shown my dog myself, that was kindly done with her breeder who attained her Ch. I do hope to start showing in the future with perhaps another JS & yes the feet are the only part of a JS that is trimmed. Not totally sure if they give the hocks a little tidy up. I do do it on my BC though. :)

For trollies, I have an OKS trolley and love it. https://sites.google.com/site/dogshowequipmentcom/

It is usually them or C-Crate that people recommend. A friend got 1 recently very similar to a c-crate trolley and it is great but I'm not sure who it was through.

For driers, I have a Double-K which has been going strong for 8 years now but they have gone up a lot in that time. A couple of friends have these from Ebay and are quite happy with them http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/2800W-Pet-Dryer-Dog-Grooming-Blaster-Blower-Hairdryer-Adjustable-Temp-Low-Noise-/281754061517?hash=item4199d9cacd:g:E9AAAOSwvTxUlRAn or http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/New-2800W-Stepless-Speed-Pet-Dryer-Dog-Cat-Grooming-Blaster-Blower-Hairdryer-/131225895143?hash=item1e8dac40e7:g:ke4AAOSwys5WUrkz
