✨Pet Stylist Groom Off 2026✨

🥇 for Luna in Supreme Asian Freestyle
🥇 for Rio in Pairs with So Fetch - Professional Dog Grooming
🏆 Best in Show with Rio 🏆

So so excited to come away with a first place in the Asian class, this placement means a lot to me for lots of reasons and I’m super proud of the gorgeous little Luna for being such a good girl and so grateful that her owner chose me to be her groomer when she was only a puppy, and allowing me to pretty much do what I want with her. Love her to bits 🥹🥰

Massive thank you also needs to go to Clips Dog Grooming for letting me and Phoebe steal the handsome dinosaur that is Rio! It was a tough pairs class with some gorgeous dogs in and to not only win that class but to come out on top with a Best in Show win also has really made my week 🤍

Big thank you to the organisers for putting this show on, it gives dogs like Luna who wouldn’t cope with the busy environment of shows a chance to be shown off from the comfort of our own salons 🩷

Another big thank you to all the judges who thought so highly of my grooms, it truly means the world to me 🥰

Looking forward to the next one and being on the other side of the competition 😉

✨ Shimmer ✨

Aka, Shimmy/Shimshim/Whimmy 🙈

I guess I should officially introduce this little bundle of fun. She is a 10month old, silver, toy poodle. Technically she belongs to my mum, however when I lost Benni so suddenly I really noticed how miserable Barbie was. She has always been with another dog and is a very sociable pup who doesn’t overly love being on her own. So we “borrowed” Shimmer from my mum and well, she’s kind of just fitted in perfectly 🙏🏻 Barbie is playing again and just seems so much happier in herself, which was my main goal. It was hurting my heart so much seeing her so sad ❤️‍🩹

So you may see her around more often, I’m hoping to do some videos with her talking about maintaining and sc******ng difficult coats like these silver poodles (IYKYK) but that won’t be until my new salon is up and running, which hopefully shouldn’t be much longer, will put a post up regarding this soon 😬🤞🏼

For now enjoy some late night grooming photos of this little menace, she was soooo hairy before this so I just whacked a load of coat off. Need to go back over it to finish it off really but I think she looks cute nonetheless 🥰

🐾 Herbie 🐾

New boy Herbie came for his first visit with me yesterday after his usual groomer has moved away!

He was the sweetest boy to groom and gave me such good cuddles 🥰 we had to pull out one of the Halloween bows as I realised I only really have girly big bows currently 🙈 may need to put an order in to linkyspetparlour for some more manly options 😂

Swipe to see the outtakes 👅

✨ Mastergroom 2026 ✨

3rd place poodle champion in a very big champ class! 🥉

Absolutely over the moon with this placement and groom considering I very nearly left the ring after 5 minutes of grooming him 🥲 somehow I managed to get my s**t back together after having a pep talk from the judges and organisers of the show, and carry on grooming.

Can not thank Kitty Demeersgieter and Linda Barker enough for their kind words and placement. It really meant the world to me ❤️

Added in the podium photo at the end just to show the size difference of Greggy compared to every other standard poodle 🙈🦖🤣
(Ps I accidentally flattened his topknot when I took his lead off and forgot to fluff it back up 😩)

✂️ TRAINING DAYS ✂️

I am finally opening up my diary for the rest of this year for training days. I have had a lot of messages with enquiries and I am SO grateful that you all chose me to help you on your journeys, which is why I am going to offer a couple of different choices for you all so hopefully I can get everyone in 🫶🏻

If you have already messaged me about training can you please just give this post a quick read and let me know what options you would want to go for 😊

⚫️ 1-1 TRAINING ⚫️
This will be for people who just want a training day with them and myself. This can be either at your salon or mine. I will travel within a certain distance, if outside my travel area then an extra fee to cover mileage will be needed.

⚫️ SMALL GROUP TRAINING ⚫️
This will be for 2, or max 3 people, depending on dogs. This can be done in 2 different ways, firstly if you and a friend want to pair up together. Or I will be trying to pair/group together a couple of people who are doing similar trims (Poodle with Poodle or Asian with Asian etc) this will be offered at a reduced rate per person.

⚫️ LARGE GROUPS/WORKSHOPS ⚫️
Finally if there is anyone interested who may be further away (I’ve had a few inquiries from Scottish groomers in particular!) who either has a large group of friends and wants to do a large group lesson or would want to me to come and do a seminar/workshop, I would also be open to arranging something like this.

I can help with an array of trims, whether it be competition styling or salon styling. I’m also happy to help with prep work if needed. Poodle, Asian and Teddy styles.

Please message for more info, prices and availability ✨🫶🏻

Cymru Groom 2026 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

1st place doubles with sofetch.doggrooming 🥇

Had a wonderful day yesterday competing at this competition for the first time, we decided to have a go at the doubles class with a completely new dog to both of us, the handsome standard poodle Rio 🐩

As we only had 2 hours to complete this groom and Phoebe has never scissored a poodle before (let alone a gigantic one 🙈) we half clipped and half scissored him just to make things a little easier and quicker as we had a fair bit to do. I had the best time grooming him and he stood like a rock for us the whole time and did not stop wagging his tail 🥹

Can’t thank his wonderful owner clipsdoggrooming enough for trusting us to groom him, it really means the world to me ❤️

Massive thank you to Naomi for letting us use your salon and prep the dinosaur until the early hours of the morning 😴

Thank you to our judges kellydavisofficial and sandra.mularska_dogstylist for our placement and wonderful comments about our groom 🥰

Onto the next one!

🎀 Luna 🎀

I am utterly in love with my ‘big fairy bow’ from linkyspetparlour 😍 when I say it suits Luna perfectly… I mean, just look at her 🥹

Lunas legs are also growing back in nicely after having to shave them off towards the start of the year. She’s got a hard coat to work with but the end result is always worth it 😍
