Hello All. Another newby

Hi and welcome to another Queenslander. I'm Vanda from Melbourne and also had a big career change and came into dog grooming rather later in life. But like all the others love what I do, and can't imagine doing anything different. You will love this friendly forum.

Hi Aunty Marg,

Welcome aboard !!!!! I'm also owned by poodles........ and have two salons in Sydney one in Kingswood and one in Blaxland (my daughter (hugapoodle) works this one)

Had a very fast look at your site ~ very interesting ~ I'll have a better look over the weekend when I have more time

Welcome Marg! I'm an Aunty too - I call myself Aunty Barb to my fur clients, which prob sounds ridiculous but they feel like my family so I could care less what anyone else thinks I have a mobile franchise in the Geelong area. A big career change like yourself and lots of others but the best thing I've ever done.
Love your website, great products.
Enjoy the forum, you will make lots of friends and this is the place for groomer's advice and support.

Hi Marg, welcome we are definately out numbered with victorians on here(extremely lovely ones though)so its great to have another Brissy girl.I am Brooke and I groom from home in Deagon, I have been going for almost 12 months and I love it. I used to vet nurse but decided I would like something that I could stay home to do so I could work around my two young kids. I have 3 four legged children also, a weimaraner, a mini foxy and a standard poodle. We definately will have to organise a get together may be even before the Pet expo as that is still 6 months away. I look forward to chatting with you

sounds good perhaps we can do coffee at Chermside one sunday morning.

YAY more brissy people.

Hi and Welcome..

looking at the web site.. I like what i see.. HEHE.

I am Emma i Live in brissy and am a groomer in the making. I have been training for a bit with destiny she is very helpful.

Hope you enjoy your stay.


" i remember the stand at petacular!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" HAHAHAHAHAHA I saw the pics and was like hang on i know that poodle and pink stall. LOL

Marg, A coffee Sunday would suit me.... Let's hope the others jump in.. We'll set a date after Easter...

Hi Aunty Marg. Good to have another Brissy groomer. I too am in Brisbane.
There was a Poodle Shop stall at the recent pet expo. If that was you, I have already met you.
Its good to hear that you have a get together with other groomers.

It was indeed me with my business partner. She is the one who owned the very laid back standard poodle. He lounged in his bed royaly recieving pats all day long for the duration of both days. I was the one blowing up and handing out 6 million balloons.!!

Hi Aurty Megg welcome to the forum ...............
Im Sharna from Sydney and i have a st Poodle named Mr Darcy had a look at your site ..... I love it

Welcome abored

tHANKS Sharna glad you like it. Did you see the poodle photos in the gallery ?

yes i did i love Lacey and Leory and great colouring love the rainbow tail wish i could do that with my boy but hes black so it maybe hard

BTW how big r the blanket sets im trying to find something big for him, he is a big boy and at the new shop it's going to get cold in winter im thinking of making a thick matt to get him off the ground in the limited space i have but i would like to have a extra blanket for the really cold days

From the web site

Soft fleecy blanket and matching pillow for small dogs. Beautiful set to make any night time more snuggly and warm.

Blanket 80 x 80 cm/ 31"x 31" with contrasting cream coloured fleece on the reverse side. Pillow 30 x 30 cm /12" x 12" light filled with padding. Both pieces made from easy-care machine washable polyester fleece. Also available in pink

Not trying to take business of you Aunty Marg, but Hugapoodle, heres a photo of my 50kg boy on a mat from Rogz. He's a big dog but he looks swamped by the mat. It's made of hard wearing material on the outside but padded and very comfy. It's the only thing I've been able to find that accomodates big dogs well. I'm not sure of the retail price, i hope to stock them myself when i get a into g, but i know it's $90 wholesale. Not bad when i paid $60 for a blanket style mat that had no padding in it at all.

that would be the right size 4 him is only around 30kg but he is really long and spalls out everywhere
