Premier Groom 2013 Results

Premier Groom 2013

The UK’s favourite grooming event took place at the Kennel Club Building, Stoneleigh Park on Sunday. With more entries than last year (and that was a record) organisers Groom Team England and grooming supplier, Redcape, once again put on a fabulous day for everyone.

The competitions during the day consisted of Handstrip, Pure Breed Scissor, Poodle, Spaniel & Setter and Workshop classes at Beginner, Open and Champion building to the climax of Best in Show and Reserve Best in Show won by Mike Wildman and Lesley Harpham respectively. There were also Groom Team England Special Award, Best Transformation Award, Best Preparation by a Beginner, Spectators Special Award and a Debutante class for the first time. All in all more than 100 dogs were brushed, scissored, clipped and handstripped to within an inch of their life to produce some stunning finished results. And from the photos taken on the day, some dogs were obviously enjoying the limelight more than others!
