Hello, I'm Fiona and I welcome you to Pride 2 Groom Dog Grooming Salon.
I thought I would introduce myself a little.
My love for dogs grew from a small child where I used to sit and watch Mum grooming the dogs.
I have been grooming since the age of 11 where I discovered the world of competitive Dog Grooming.
I been involved with dog showing since junior handling classes where I had a number of consistent wins. Leading up to more recent wins in breed classes with Champions in both Poodles and American Cockers.
I first walked into the grooming competition ring at the age of 11 years where a real passion was sparked and won into the champion classes for Poodles and Gundogs by the age of 16.
Over the years I have achieved consistent wins with many class wins and placings. Although I am no stranger to competing with Poodles and American Cockers, I have also shown success and consistency with Bichons and Schnauzers by winning into the champion classes with them too, proving myself as a capable all around groomer.
Some of my grooming competition highlights include:-
YKC Groomer Of The Year 2003 and 2004
Best In Show at Northern Groomers 2014
Groomer Of The Year, Advanced Group Winner 2014, 2015 and 2016
