I entered my first competition for Newbie Groomers during the summer of 2021! I won 1st place in Double Coated Breeds with a Leonberger, 4th place in Handstrip with a Border Terrier and 4th place in Purebreed with a Papillon. In 2022 I entered one class for hand stripped newbie champs and was delighted to be placed 4th with an Irish Terrier.
