Home from Groom Texas in Houston. I have to say this was one of the funnest shows I have attended. Well ran with "something for everyone" evening events.
I competed in two classes. First up was Zuko in Freestyle as a Giant Schnauzer. We garnered a 1st place win in open division!!! Thanks so much to my Judges Jay Batista and Samantha Palya. He was so much work I didn't think I would finish. I just put him into pattern before surgery in April so honestly he looks good considering I have only been stripping him as a Giant for 4 months. He will only get better.
Next was Evie in AOPB. We did not place but she got so much attention as this breed is just not seen much at competitions. We shared the ring with some hella talented groomers and I have no doubt the judges had a hard time. The winners earned every placement they received. Every day that I get to do things and share this amazing breed called the Bouvier is priceless!!
To be a part of a stellar BIS lineup was an honor. Congratulations to all the winners!!Thanks to my cheerleaders, I appreciate you whooping it up for Zuko, he loved it a bit too much π€¦π»ββοΈ
Thank you Tayler and Jay for letting me have fun with you during the Duo competition. That was epic β€οΈβ€οΈ
Lastly thank you to Cierrah for being my amazing assistant and to those at home. Thanks to my mom for taking care of the army at home and to Deb Holderman for babysitting the Wheaten puppies. It sure takes a village to make these things work.
Enjoy some candids that were taken. I will post official ones once I get them. οΏΌοΏΌ
