💔 It’s with great sadness that Team Paragon shares the passing of Kathy Rose, a true friend, educator and contributor to the grooming profession. Throughout the years, Kathy rose in the competition ring with multiple Best Groomed Dog in Show wins, and represented GroomTeam USA for four consecutive International gold and silver metal teams. An early pioneer in the Creative grooming arena, Kathy worked with numerous industry organizations such as Barkleigh, WPA and GroomTeam USA. Whether filming a feature video for us or standardizing the American contest ring with the GroomTeam USA Board of Directors, Kathy’s devotion to excellence in the grooming profession enriched the lives of groomers everywhere. She will be sorely missed by her friends at Paragon and the industry, but her legacy in grooming will live on.
