A Australian Shepherd full groom runs about 85 minutes and around $85. Here is the breakdown, and why breed-aware pricing beats a flat rate.
Default times and prices from FurSlot's 204-breed matrix. Every cell is yours to edit.
A medium double coat, straight to wavy, with a mane and frill, feathered legs, and full 'pants' on the rear that carry the tangles. Mats form behind the ears, under the frill, and in the britches and feathering, so line-brush those and finish with sanitary and feet trims. The undercoat blows seasonally and wants deshedding, but never shave a coat built to insulate.
