Hand Stripping in Colorado Springs?

[Iko]

I've just moved to CO. Back in GA I had a fantastic woman who would hand strip my Lula to Cairn standards, but I cannot seem to find anyone here in Colorado Springs who knows how to hand strip. Lula is desperate for her hair to done!! Can anybody help me out here? I not want to have to drive all the way to Denver if it can be helped. Suggestions? Warnings? Please! I'd do it myself but my skills are rough at best (I'd love to learn if anyone would be willing to teach me!).

I'd probably start by contacting CTCA breeders in the area and see if they have any leads. Some breeder/exhibitors groom on the side; others have probably had the question from their puppy people. Still others might be willing to teach. Indeed I'm not sure I ever met a Cairn person who wouldn't give some grooming tips to any pet owner interested (circumstances permitting, of course).

 

The CTCA breeder search is "geo-aware" so its easy to find listed members near any place google recognizes. Here are those within 250 miles of a random CS zip code I grabbed: http://cairnterrier.org/member/home.php/directory/breeder-distance/80918/250/
