Take a look at the talented groomers who spent the day displaying their skills in 2 events.
Thank you to Sarah Lowe for her tireless coordinating to make it a success and for once again inviting me to capture the day, and also thanks to the exhibitors, the committee, judges and the beautiful dogs . . .

** Photo is of a before & after of a beautiful Shih Tzu dog who some of you may recognise from the confirmation show ring, now retired, fittingly clipped off in style at this event.

Last post for tonight (I promise 😂)

Just wanted to say a HUGE thank you to our sponsors, judges, photographer, helpers, MC and all of our contestants!!

Without all of you this would be impossible, it’s a huge task running this competition especially in the peak busy season so to have you all show so much support behind this event it’s so incredible.

If we can get a group of people to help share the load next year we will be back in 2026

Thank you all again and good night!

Oh and the link to purchase photos will be up once our amazing photographer finishes editing them all.
