Four days of international competition and craftsmanship

At Groomania, the competition floor is more than just a stage. It's a place where passion for the craft comes to life. Groomers from around the world gather to share their dedication, creativity and years of hard work in an atmosphere built on respect and professional pride.

Every class represents more than technique alone. It reflects patience, preparation and the quiet determination that defines our industry. Whether you step into the ring as a competitor or stand alongside as a colleague, you become part of a community that values skill, growth and the love of grooming.

COMPETITION SCHEDULE 2026

HOW IT WORKS

  1. Join the Facebook group

  2. Post your requirements
    (dates, class, breed, size)

  3. Connect directly with breeders or owners

  4. Arrange all details privately

Some competitors travel from far away and may not be able to bring their own dogs.

To support them, Groomania provides access to a dedicated Facebook group where competitors can connect with breeders and owners offering dogs for competition.

All communication should be handled privately.

We recommend confirming all agreements in writing before the event.
