Do you take your dog to a professional groomer? How much does it cost you? Both my dogs are short haired and don't require anything other than the occasional bath, so I've been avoiding groomers because of the cost. But with the cold weather approaching, I don't think I feel like struggling with them this winter.
All of mine have long hair and I keep it brushed myself. It's nice quality time with them and, of course, it saves some money. In the summer months, I can give them a bath outside. We can usually get through winter with one bath each at the groomer's.
