Tomorrow the pups are each getting their baths. It's a crazy amount of work with 11. I wash each at a time. We take photos in the tub. I have been known to wash and take photos too. That's a little crazy. Then I hold them up and we take wet photos. Then I dry them and take dry photos. Then I clip around bum, shave belly where needed, shave pads and 1 is done. It's a long process but then they are huggable soft.
When we do the 8 week visit, I may do their baths the day before and only do dry photos. This way, I can reduce my time in half. Then when they go home do the individual wet and dry shots. I hope you don't mind. What is the difference. I wash and put them in a crate with 2 blow dryers blowing on them. By the time I am done the 11th puppy, the 1st one is almost all dry. I finish them up and take a dry photo. Yes - think I will do that for sanity sake.
