The ‘friendly’ sport of competitive grooming is gaining popularity with new competitions for groomers announced for most capital cities this year.

However it’s the original and most prestigious National Ausgroom titles which always attract the most competitors and this year entries were the biggest yet despite the first ever WA AusGroom event being held just the week before the national titles in Sydney.

Best In Show Winner May Wong from Melbourne’s skills caught the eye of International Judges Christina Pawlosky and Judy Hudson-Doyle who awarded May her 2nd Best In Show but not without stiff competition from the huge field including runner-up Annett Whitelum.
