Incase anyone is after a good groomer in the NE I can recommend the one at cleadon inbetween south shields and sunderland. I took Loki in this morning and they have done a fab job on him (will post pics tonight) and what a fantastic service. I was really worried as Loki can be a bit funny when I am not there but apparently he was really good for her (the bag of bribes treats I took with me was almost all gone) but she took her time and got him used to the noise of the clippers etc before using them on him (he was still too soft to handstrip) I had told them it was his first groom and they spent double the normal time so he wouldnt get scared and it didnt cost any extra.
