Jacqui –
“It is such an honour to be judging; I can’t wait to see everyone grooming with passion, as we all do.
I have been grooming now for about 18 years and I’m self taught. A passion for detail and a really lovely dog started me on my journey. I concentrated earlier on in the Conformation Show Ring with Poodles and Westie’s.
Six years ago a change of circumstances led me into grooming professionally and a handful of grooming competitions. Last year I was fortunate enough to to spend a month with the very talented groomers on Pooch Perfect.
I love sharing my knowledge with my fellow groomers in seminars; up skilling in this way has given me the opportunity to share my knowledge throughout Australia and online internationally. I hope we all continue to inspire each other and grow together in our passion of grooming 🥰
Eva –
After falling in love with Lakeland Terrier’s and showing them from a young age I have been fortunate to work with many wonderful breeders and handlers who have encouraged, mentored, and entrusted me to condition and show other terrier breeds – namely Smooth Fox Terriers, Airedales, Kerry Blues, Wire Fox Terriers, Cairn, Welsh, and West Highland White Terriers.
I attained my judging license (ANKC) for the terrier group in 2013. I have since become eligible to also judge the Toy, Gundog, and Non-Sporting Groups. I am currently aspiring to judge the Hound Group.
As a dog show confirmation judge, I recognise the importance of a correctly presented dog and appreciate the time and skill that goes into the preparation and conditioning of their coats.
