IPDGA Dog Grooming Championship November 2020


And from the Bichon Scissoring Class …..

“You managed to get a really lovely finish which isn’t easy on Bichon coats…

 I thought that your groom was a lovely pet trim…

 I loved your grooming and adored watching you work ...”

This year’s Irish Professional Dog Grooming Association Grooming Competition was a “virtual” one due to the Covid-19 restrictions.  This gave me the opportunity to enter as time and travel weren’t the usual obstacle.


I was pleased to be awarded 3rd place in the Champion Clipped Class with a Miniature Schnauzer.



Prizes awarded in  IPDGA Championships

 In October 2009, I was awarded first place in the I.P.D.G.A. Dog Grooming Championships Clipped Class with a Cocker Spaniel and a given a Merit Award in the Scissor Class with my own Wheaten Terrier.  In 2010 I was awarded 2nd Prize in the Hand Stripping Competition. I also entered my dog, Digby, in the Creative Grooming class - hover over the picture on the right to see the transformation!

I also entered the Handstripping Class.  Although I wasn’t placed, I got lovely feedback from the judge...

 “Hi Debbie,

I think you did a lovely job on her.  Your techniques were spot on, and the comfort of the dog was very much a priority.

She is groomed absolutely correctly to breed standard.

The difficult part of grooming border terriers in contest (the are one of my favourite terriers on earth), is that you lose some points due to the degree of difficulty compared to some other handstrip terriers.”


And before grooming …
