Default times and prices from FurSlot's 204-breed matrix. Every cell is yours to edit.
The Sheltie wears a long, harsh outer coat over a dense undercoat, with a profuse mane and frill carrying most of the volume. Mats form behind the ears, in the armpits, and in the britches, so line-brush to the skin through those zones. Blow out the undercoat during heavy seasonal sheds, trim the feet and hocks, and never shave what protects the skin.
