Wow… what an INCREDIBLE weekend! I’m honestly still lost for words. It was such an honour to be part of Crufts first year introducing the dog grooming competition. 🐾✂️
Feeling completely out of my comfort zone and nearly talked myself out of entering. I went with no expectations, just hoping to gain experience and learn from some of the very best in the industry.
So to say I’m overwhelmed is an understatement. Making it to the final was amazing… but coming away with 1st place truly feels like a dream come true. 🏆
It was Freddie’s very first time in the competition ring, and he was the little angel he always is. 🐶✨
I truly owe this moment to him and his amazing owners for trusting me and letting me borrow their very special boy♥️
Thank you so much to everyone who has messaged, supported me, and cheered me on — it means more than you know. And a huge thank you to the incredible judges Georgia Ashton Fuller , Dongseok Yoo & Melanie winters-Holmes for thinking so highly of my groom to place me first, I can’t wait to receive my feedback so I can put it into action and continue my competing journey 🐩
Congratulations to everyone who place and entered, the class was such a high standard 😍
Moments like this remind me why I love what I do. ❤️🐶
