ABOUT

​

The Pup Cup Dog Grooming Competition was established in 2017 by Jazz Fitzgerald, a Coffs Harbour dog groomer and passionate grooming competitor.

 

“After attending many grooming competitions, I thought it would be lovely to host one in my hometown. So with the suggestions from other groomers The Pup Cup was born.

To me the Pup Cup is all about a positive atmosphere and creating a fair ground for all.

I have changed rules, timing and entry levels to suit the contestant.

I don’t see my competitors as numbers. I pop their names on their tables and introduce them to others.

I select approachable people to judge the dog on the table and not the name or the face behind the groom.

​

Professional development starts here.

​

For sponsors and stallholders, I welcome anyone from a small to large pet industry related business or company to attend and be involved. 

With the competitive market I am a true believer that everyone has something to offer and promote people to connect in person and not assume personalities or skills from behind a screen.

 

As an industry we have so many wonderful businesses and groomers that have supported this growing event from the start and for that I will always be thankful."

 

The Pup Cup prides itself in giving groomers the opportunity to up skill, connect with others, showcase what they’re passionate about, refresh values and revive their goals. 

 

To date, the Pup Cup has occurred in Coffs Harbour, NSW, Durack, QLD and Cairns, QLD.

We celebrate all those who attend and give acknowledgments to these industry legends.
