Hi! Actually I had already talked to the groomer about that. They have a specially priced "puppy package" to encourage folks with new pups to start taking them in early for the very reason you mentioned above. They also said people who don't choose to take them in as pups can take MUCH longer to groom as adults due to being terrified of the dryers, etc. and having to have to keep stopping the process as to now stress out the dog.

Thanks for sharing the info Lori... definately important stuff a new puppy owner needs to know.
