YKC Groomer of the Year 2011!
From Runner-Up to Best in Show: Christine Anderton Wins YKC Groomer of the Year!
The scissors have settled, the fluff is perfectly coiffed, and the results are in: our very own Christine Anderton is officially a champion!
After a weekend of high-stakes competition at the world-renowned Crufts dog show at Birmingham’s NEC, Christine and her 10-year-old Miniature Poodle, Beckham, have secured the prestigious Young Kennel Club (YKC) Groomer of the Year Award.
A Story of Determination
This victory is especially sweet for Christine. After coming incredibly close last year, she returned to the arena with more focus and passion than ever.
“Last year Beckham and I finished second so it is great to finally win. I’m just so pleased,” said Christine.
Competing against a field of 21,500 dogs and some of the most talented young handlers in the country, Christine’s precision and Beckham’s calm demeanor proved to be the winning combination.
Why This Matters
Winning at Crufts is the ultimate “Best in Show” moment for any groomer. It highlights the skill, patience, and artistry that Christine brings to our salon every single day. Whether she’s prepping a champion for the ring or making your pet look their best, that same award-winning dedication is always on display.
As a proud member of Groom Team England, Christine continues to set the bar for grooming excellence in Lewisham and beyond.
