Preparing a Persian Cat for the Show Ring (Part 1 of 4-Part Series)

Danelle German is passionate about achieving extraordinary results when grooming felines.

When she got her first cat years ago, it was a Persian. A well-bred Persian. Being competitive by nature, Danelle entered the world of cat shows in the late 90’s. During her show career, she produced and showed many National and Regional Award Winning Persians. She retired from showing to focus on her feline-exclusive businesses.

Danelle is a true pioneer in the field of feline grooming. She speaks on all topics related to cat grooming and behavior. Her popular cat seminars can be found at grooming trade shows in the United States and abroad. In addition, she regularly conducts hands-on workshops around the globe.

Danelle feels this point is important. If she is going to be teaching show standard grooming on felines around the world, she must measure up to those standards herself. She has come out of “cat show” retirement three time since 2005. Being competitive ensures she stays current to the latest trends, tools, and techniques in her field.

In this video, Danelle works with her latest Persian, “Trazarra I’ve Been Traveling” or “Ivy.” This adorable kitten will become the latest working cat within Danelle’s feline businesses. Ivy comes all the way from Wendy Mieglitz of Trazarra Cattery from Victoria, Australia.
