For the second year, I had the great pleasure to take part to the  « Golden Groomer » judgment.

This time again, some nice people, a super atmosphere, and a lot to learn …  Thank yoCette fois encore, de belles rencontres, une super ambiance, et un week-e everyone, and congratulations to all the competitors and to the winners !!! (nice score, with 55 entries for this 11^th edition, competitors coming from 10 different countries !) .

Thank you for your great work, your patience, your good mood, even with the very hot weather and even when we had to face to a power problem on the Saturday morning.  We apoligize again for the inconvenience.

Some super model dogs also, who behave perfectly … It was a diffult weekend for them too ...

Without forgetting our sponsors : Diamex, Transgroom, Power & Working Scissors  !

The “Golden Groomer” was awarded to the English breeder and groomer Mrs Mich DALE, who showed a beautiful work on her West Highland White Terrier.  What a perfect couple they made along the day, until the main ring where it was a real pleasure to see them move.

  

 

The best groomer of the day on Saturday has been won by  Mme Doris KAPFERER with a Kerry Blue Terrier, she indeed won the 2 categories on this day.
 

 

On Sunday, the Belgian  Mme Aïcha Vermeulen, won the Spaniels competition, with an American Cocker.

And the canine press spoke about the « Golden Groomer », in the September 2014 issue of the « Toilettage Magazine »  (Toilettage Magazine Septembre 2014), and also in England, in the well-known « Our Dogs »  newspaper.
