(Sorry about the subject title, but I couldn't resist)
I bought a DOUBLE K 2000 XL dog dryer a week ago or so. I hadn't really got a chance to use it on 7 month old Angus, but last night gave him a really good shampooing and rinsing. I then used the dryer exclusively. I used mostly the slower speed, but some on the high as well.
I must say - that dryer really rocks! It blew his coat as straight as could be, and it really took a great deal of his puppy coat with it. It left him MUCH blacker and shinier than when we'd ever done in the past by hand drying and then just brushing.
I took him to his conformation handling class right after and the head trainer marvelled at how I must had spent hours brushing him. The irony was that I hadn't touched him last night with a brush at all. Just blew the coat out gently and in the direction that the coat lays.
Thoughts?
