Alain Treins Challenge

This year, we had the honor of inaugurating a particularly significant award: the « Alain Treins Challenge »in memory of the exceptional groomer who passed away earlier this year. This challenge spotlights the Best Makeover, rewarding groomers who succeed in spectacularly revealing a dog's potential and beauty. A prize for the best transformation was awarded each day, on Saturday and Sunday.

Our judges then had the delicate task of designating the grand winner of the « Alain Treins Challenge » from these two daily laureates, thus crowning the ultimate excellence in canine metamorphosis.
