Just wanted to share a proud breeder moment!
Yesterday, young Pasha competed in his first ever grooming competition at just 8 months old!
Premier Groom is a huge competition, held at the Kennel Club Building in Stoneleigh.
The aim of the competition is for exhibiting groomers to show transformation and skill in their grooms, so dogs attend freshly washed but haven't been trimmed for quite some time.
Exhibiting groomers are judged on their use of tools as well as the quality of the groom and the competition is timed. There are different categories of entrants, dependant on their level of experience - beginner, intermediate etc as well as breed specific classes for poodles, setters/spaniels, dogs that require hand stripping.
Pasha was groomed into the German trim, which is not an easy style to trim at all. Especially for a puppy who has not yet got an adult coat texture. Unfortunately there was no placement for Pasha on this occasion but I believe that as he matures in both body and coat this style will just get better and better.
I am incredibly proud of Pasha for competing at this event and at such a young age too! It really is testament to his wonderful temprament. I am looking forward to following his journey as a grooming competition dog.
Good boy Pasha!
