My Bio:
Hi, my name is Suzanne Grande NCMG. I have provided dog grooming services in the Tampa Bay area for well over 40 years.
During this time I have had the honor of working with over 300 champion dogs, and have completed over 150,000 grooms.
Working with so many champions is quite an accomplishment, as I have never been a professional handler, nor have I worked for a handler. These were all regular grooming clients.
The champion dogs represented all coat types and breed groups.
Among these were many top winning dogs. The breeds that were in the top five were as follows:
Cocker Spaniel
PBGV
Kerry Blue Terrier
Poodle
German Wirehair Pointer
Springer Spaniel
Polish Lowland Sheepdog
Giant Schnauzers
Affenpinscher
Cavalier
Lowchen
Russell Terrier
These included multiple BIS, group, national specialty, and Westminster winners.
Other Champions included Yorkies, Bichons, Wheaten Terriers, Maltese, more Poodles, more GWP, more Kerry Blues, more Springers, more PBGV's, Irish Setter, Eng. Cocker, Bedlington Terriers, Borzoi, Parson Russell, Chinese Crested, Long Hair Chihuahua, Pomeranian, Wire Fox Terrier, Havanese, Mini Schnauzer, Portuguese Water Dog, Scottish Terrier, & Standard Schnauzer.
I also did some Champion Persian, Himalayan, and Maine C**n cats.
While I love the challenge of show grooming, as it tests my skills, my passion has always been pet grooming.
I have also placed in "A" division at groom team sanctioned dog grooming contests 6 times.
We have proudly owned our salon since 1995.
