[nagdu] dog expenses question

[Brandy Pinder via nagdu]

If you mean breed no not really. The only one I can think of is a poodle because of the six to eight week grooming it will need. Most other breeds you can bathe yourself. I had one golden I used to get trimmed because his hair was super long. Like belly hair about five inches as well as tail hair so I'd get a couple inches off every few months.
