Paragon’s Groominar® Network family at Learn2GroomDogs.com would like to celebrate the memory of our dear friend, instructor, and groom industry icon, Kathy Rose.

Kathy will be remembered for her work standardizing the American contest ring and her devotion to and promotion of professionalism in grooming. Her competitive excellence with GroomTeam USA inspired groomers here and abroad to level up their skills. At the same time, as a business owner, she was keen to share ways to groom the every day “bread and butter” dogs with style.

To honor Kathy’s contributions to our Groominar® Network, we’ve made three of her full features viewable by all. We’ll miss Kathy, but know her legacy lives on!

This gallery includes:

2. Grooming a Shih Tzu with an Asian Influenced Head Style (3-Part Series)

With heavy hearts, the Learn2GroomDogs.com team honors the passing of two very special dogs who’ve crossed the rainbow bridge. Melissa Verplank’s Pearl and Lindsey Dicken’s Eve, shown here together, were teammates and playmates on many a shoot. We miss these beauties. Eve was a super star in many of Lindsey’s videos, including this Spotlight Session below where she sports the latest canine haute couture.
