Dill is a Barbet, a very old French breed (Barbe means beard in French). He's only a youngster and did well for his first full groom. Just a trim to take off some of the extra length. Plus clear his eyes so he can see! They should look quite rustic in appearance and not too 'coiffured' ! Bit of an epic job though. 🤪

Dash the Tibetan Terrier or commonly referred to as a TT. He's in a modified full coat. So not long to the floor and the face is clear. We also cut his belly hair short to reduce the brushing required. So he has curtains front, back and sides. 🤣 If you open them there's nothing behind!

Why Trixie & Bess

Trixie and Bess were two collie cross dogs which I grew up with during the 1970s. Trixie was my grandparents dog and Bess her daughter, who belonged to my aunt and uncle.

Trixie wasn’t supposed to have puppies but she had a habit of taking herself for a walk down to the beach in Paignton and wasn’t spayed (this was the 1970s remember). She had three puppies, two boys and Bess which my aunt and uncle kept.

Like many people who train as a pet groomer, it’s a second career. My first one being a graphic designer (which I still do at k-creative).

As a child I was always interested in animals and looked at working with them as a career. But decided I wasn’t intelligent enough to be a vet and it was too hard to make a living working with horses.
