History
Our groomers all have at least 20 + years experience. Most have more. We excel in scissor finishing your pet. We also have many years of experience in the conformation show ring . This makes for a very good "eye" in accomplishing an esthetically pleasing breed profile.
I began showing dogs in 1973. They were Wire Fox Terriers. Their grooming is a very tedious job, as the Terriers require hand stripping and the ability to sculpt the desired outline. I was mentored by Ric Cashoudian and Wood Wornall. Ric was a professional handler and judge..He was also an artist , who was commissioned to do a lifesized Bronze Bust of Barney (President Bush's Scottie). He also sculpted the memorial to Katrina victims in New Orleans. He was considered one of the "greats" in the dog world. He recently passed on.
I was very fortunate to learn from Ric and Woody, and this led to a good deal of success with my Wire Fox Terriers. I Had Best In Show and Group winning wires. From there, I became interested in pet grooming. We apply the show dog profile, only , we use pet grooming methods to achieve the same appearance. After showing Wires for 20 years, I began to show German Shorthair Pointers. I'm not currently showing, just enjoying my two toy poodles.
As time progressed, in recent years, Bichon Frises, Maltese, Malti-poos and other coated breeds became very popular, It wasn't very long 'til we started getting so many referrals for longer, fluffier, scissored styles that some days , we do 8 or 10 of them. I never intended to specialize in Bichons and very long scissored styling, it just seemed to work out that way. This type of styling does require expert scissoring skills , which seem to becoming a lost art, but is one that we enjoy doing.
