Your doodle is probably going to become quite large. I would look for a groomer who is good with large dogs. We have found that groomers who are good with small dogs can't necessarily do a good job with big dogs. There is a groomer at Woof Gang off of 101 in The Villages (shopping center behind Bonefish, sorta) named Jessica who has done the best job of anyone in TV with our golden. Also, Grooms To Go is a mobile groomer who did a good job with both our goldens. One was a 15-yr-old abandoned golden who had not been groomed in at least 5 years and had severe arthritis. Steve picked him up, carried him to his truck, blew all the mats out, and bathed him. We did that for a year. He did a decent job at a reasonable price. Samantha at Woof Gang in Brownwood does a good job with our current golden. Not as good as Jessica, but good.

Jessica really loves big floppy happy dogs. Our guy would happily go home with her. But we live near Brownwood, and Jessica moved up to the other Woof Gang by 466. However, if you're looking for a first experience that would be positive, I highly recommend her. She is very upbeat with the dogs.
