A Rotorua dog groomer is set to take the world stage as she secures a spot on the prestigious NZ Groomteam.
Sparkles Dog Grooming owner operator Wendy Drummond will take part in the international competition GroomQuest, being held in New South Wales in August, as part of the team.
She will also represent New Zealand as the Gundog specialist, competing in the World Team competition in France in 2020.
"I cried, it was amazing. I was really stoked because there was some tough competition. It was an amazing feeling."
She says she is looking forward to the community feeling of the competitions, as they are a close bunch.
