found a mobile groomer locally. reasonable price imo.
well, he completely shaved ralph (scruffy doodle, v matted), his ears, his muzzle, his butt-cling-ons etc. look like a new dog. smells like one too lol.
anyway i was v v anxious as ralph hasnt been groomed before. but he was good as gold apparently. bloke says book an appointment for around 3 months time and see how he goes.
he can bath the other dood for me as well next time.
best £30 i spent imo as less stress for me.
