What an incredible weekend at the grooming show 🦋
🏆 1st Place (Intermediate Poodles)
Under judge Colin Taylor, competing alongside some absolutely gorgeous grooms!
✂️ Best Scissored Poodle, winning a beautiful new pair of scissors and a comb.
🎓 Passed my CPPS Poodle Exam course. With a Masters Mark!!!!
🏅 Made it into Best in Show!
And to top it all off, I won a beautiful grooming mat and sweater, brought home so much more knowledge and restocked the salon with some amazing tools and products. Thank you Ukal Canada ✨
One of the best parts of competing is being able to look back and see how much you’ve grown. There is always something new to learn, something to improve, and another goal to work toward. I’m genuinely so happy with my progress and the direction I’m heading, and this weekend has motivated me even more to keep pushing myself. I have been working at this trim since 2021.
Shows like this cannot happen without all the sponsors- and dedicated individuals to make it happen. I’m over the moon proud of my friends Melissa Kay Woods, Nadia Bongelli and the tru north grooming show team.
Kiki was absolutely perfect as always. ❤️ I couldn’t ask for a better partner in the ring. Thank you Canterbury Poodles for trusting me with her. Above all she is the best dog off the table to adventure with and make lifelong memories.
I’m so grateful for the opportunities to learn, compete, and be surrounded by such talented groomers. Weekends like this remind me exactly why I love what I do.
Thank you to everyone who supports my business and follows along with my grooming journey. I can’t wait to bring everything I’ve learned back to the salon! 🐩❤️
