Tina Clarke and her highland terrier Daisy West bow wowed the judges at The Pup Cup grooming competition. Ms Clarke, a Maudsland resident and owner of Tina’s Dog Grooming, travelled to Coffs Harbour for the competition where she also took second place for her work with her customer’s pet, JJ the bichon. This was the first time Ms Clarke, pictured centre with Daisy West, had entered a grooming competition and she is thrilled the dogs put their best paws forward.
