***Some Fun Numbers for You
Every 4 months or so, I purge our client database. It’s nothing formal or scientific but I go through and see who hasn’t scheduled in a while and determine if I’ll see them again…. It’s excruciating and humbling… however, I do have some fun numbers for you from what I estimate is my existing client database…. Some of these are funny. As of today, these are a few of the estimated number of certain breeds that I currently groom. A few made me laugh… Enjoy!
94 Doodles—feels more like 200
27 Golden Retrievers—a few of them should count as 2…you know who you are
2 basset hounds-equals 6 basset hounds
16 shihtzus—one of my favorite breeds
4 corgis…. Yes they are all sassy
6 yorkies
17 Aussies—a better groom than a golden because of less shedding, better coats, and not as…..heavy and….goofy….some of my smartest and most human like dogs are aussies or aussie mixes….thinking of 2 in Boulder especially
5 chihuahuas—I was surprised that I have 5…this includes a couple mixes…. Chihuahuas get into everything if you let em
3 Cocker Spaniels (1 English Cocker—you know who you are)
2 Westies
2 Brittany Spaniels…really nice breed…reminds me of springer spaniels but smaller quicker and more agile
5 Maltese—I’m sure each of these 5 have taken a bit of time off of my life
1 French Bulldog—on a monthly schedule also lol
2 Alaskan Malamutes—also one of my favorite dog breeds….very possible that one of these two is one of my favorite grooming dogs of all time. You know who you are
16 German Shepherds!!!! Insane! Also a wonderful and misunderstood breed! Not the scary mean dogs a lot of people think they are! Quickly have become a favorite of mine!
5 Great Pyrenees—gentle giants. As good as it gets. Right there with Shepherds and Malamutes for me
2 Cavalier King Charles
2 Bulldogs…1 American and 1 Old English…
3 Shibas…..oh my
3 whippets -awesome breed
2 Brussels Griffon—most groomers will never see one
1 stubborn Newfoundland…but beautiful!
7 English springer spaniels—really sweet dogs every single one of them!
2 standard poodles (3 counting my own)—1 toy poodle
1 bedlington terrier—many groomers will never see one
1 border terrier—also very rare breed
3 boxers
5 Pugs—a ridiculous but awesome breed….
…and just because i wanted to make her read through the whole list to find her duo…….. (she knows who she is)….3 Tibetan Terriers—gorgeous dogs with too much personality…of these 3 is one of my favorite and most longstanding groom dogs…
I hope you enjoyed this list! Made me smile! I trust that many of you were able to locate your breed! I’m very thankful for that list of dogs. Many of them are very special to me. I do not take for granted the opportunity to take care of them as if they were my own!
