Hello, my name is Tracy Hainey and I have two Miniature Schnauzers – Cooper and Bea.
We lost Mia, our first miniature schnauzer in August 2022. Mia is the reason I am grooming today!
In December 2016 Mia was diagnosed with E.coli in her urinary tract, this caused severe kidney disease and led to Mia spending New Year on dialysis at the vets, at this point we didn’t know where the E.coli had come from and, once clear of the E.coli I took her back to the groomers for a tidy up, sadly three days later she was displaying all the signs again and it was confirmed the E.coli was back.
On the vets advice I had to learn how to groom Mia myself, removing any further risk out of her life.Â
Fast forward 4 years I now have 2 more Miniature Schnauzers’ who I hand strip and show. Cooper qualified for Crufts 2020. Bea has qualified for Crufts 2022.
I trained with with Amy Manser at Just 4 Paws in Nottinghamshire. I qualified as Level 3 dog groomer in 2020.Â
