Sweet Repose said...: Back in the heyday of my pet grooming days, I groomed many of these great furry beasts. It was always a joy to see them strut out my door. Their glossy, full coats resembling prairie grasses blowing in the winds...too much hair for me and such a heavy beasty to lift, but what a gentle giant to be sure.

Glad to see you a familiarizing yourself with the natives...ha!
