Pedigrees 'n' Pooches
Pedigrees 'n' Pooches are a dog grooming husband
and wife from Hatfield, Hertfordshire, Trevor and Vikki Pearman. They have always been
animal lovers having had, as a couple, dogs and cats for well over 20 years.
Currently they have 5 dogs.
Lacie, a white standard poodle bitch, a KC registered show dog and a model for creative grooming competitions.
Apache, a black standard poodle dog, kc registered show dog and model for grooming competitions.
Avvie, a northern Inuit dog, a rescue who was born blind.
Bodhi, our newest arrival, a white standard poodle dog, another KC registered show dog, and future model for grooming competitions.
Harley, the miniature schnauzer, a real character and model for grooming competition. They are a handful at times but great fun and
very loving.
2005 Vikki decided to, following a part time job bathing dogs, to do a
City & Guild course in dog grooming. After qualifying she set up VLP dog
grooming, a home based groomer and was always wanting to get her own salon but
at the time this was not really an option. 2009 She took a full time job as a
salon manager at a Stevenage groomers, where she worked until leaving to open
Pedigrees 'n' Pooches in 2012.
After starting out by helping Vikki with VLP at home, Trevor decided he
would like to start grooming as a career, He began this in 2010 at a salon in
London as trainee and his love of the career showed in his work
and commitment and was soon promoted to stylist, then salon manager. During his time at this salon he gained the City
& Guilds in dog grooming and earned a lot of respect from the customers
and staff alike, as someone with the ability and confidence to handle
difficult and aggressive dogs and who has a natural affinity with the
dogs which other groomers and vets had experienced difficulties with.
The have both have extensive training and qualifications including the level 2 & 3 City & Guilds. CSP, canine first aid, microchip implanting, and animal psychology.
