Christine DeFilippo Show Promoter 3 NOTICE TO 2014 ATTENDEES & COMPETITORS REGARDING DOGS ON HOTEL PROPERTY Please read these rules carefully The dogs entered in our competitions and involved in the programs are essential to the success of our show. Since special arrangements have been made with the Hilton Meadowlands Hotel and Conference center to accommodate these dogs, we ask dog owners and handlers to observe the following rules: 1. Only dogs and cats entered in the various competitions or scheduled for demonstrations or seminars will be permitted at the hotel. No pets should accompany other attendees. 2. The hotel will permit only two dogs per room. You may, however, bring additional dogs for the competitions. We will house them in a special supervised holding area at no additional cost to you. These dogs will not be left unattended; there will be security staff on duty at all times. This area will be available from 2:00 pm on Friday, April 4th, until 5:00 pm on Monday, April 7th. Please check in at the holding area on the second floor of the hotel.. 3. Advance reservations are required noting that dogs will need to be accommodated in the hotel rooms. When you complete the room reservation be sure to indicate that you will be bringing dogs. To minimize complaints about barking, the hotel plans to house all guests with dogs on the same floors if possible. Dogs not properly acknowledged upon check-in will receive a harsh penalty from the Hotel. 4. Your dog must be kenneled at all times when alone in sleeping rooms. Please bring sufficient crates to house your dogs. 5. Dogs must be leashed or kenneled when they are not being groomed in the contest ring or in the seminars. They also must be leashed and well supervised at all times when in public areas of the hotel. 6. There is a special “walking” and lavatory area for all dogs at the hotel. The areas will be clearly marked and no other area should be used for this purpose. Check at front desk for directions to the “walking area”. Come prepared to pick-up after your dog(s). 7. Absolutely NO bathing, blow-drying or pre-grooming of dogs is allowed in any of the sleeping rooms. Penalties will be severe. We have made special arrangements with BEST IN SHOW for the use of their specially-designed grooming facility. This has proved far superior to any other accommodations we have tried before. Again this year, we will have a SIGN-UP SHEET for you to schedule your bathing appointment time. Please register on arrival to ensure a timely spot for preparation. Contestants who sign an entry form to any of the competitions scheduled at INTERGROOM 2014 agree to abide by the rules of good conduct that govern grooming contests and purebred dog shows. You have also agreed to “hold harmless” the owner or lessor of the premises and you assume all the responsibility of any acts of your dog(s). The Hilton Hotel has put the following rules into effect to minimize future problems. If you, or your dog, damage, destroy or steal hotel property, you are responsible to make restitution to the satisfaction of the hotel. Behavior which could result in such action may be, but not limited to: stealing or damaging towels or linens; improper clean-up after the dog; actual blow drying, clipping or scissoring in the sleeping room (which is not allowed and subject to charges); causing destruction to room furniture (beds, dressers, drapes, etc.); and/or failure to pay room charges. These are serious problems. Violations will be dealt with firmly. 4 TABLE OF CONTENTS PAGE 53 54 7 32 36-39 25 23 49 47 51 45 43 6 48 46 50 44 42 28-31 16,17 3 2014 ALPHABETICAL LISTING CONVENTION REGISTRATION FORMS CONVENTION REGISTRATION EDUCATIONAL CLASSES DIRECTIONS TO THE HILTON MEADOWLANDS HOTEL EDUCATIONAL CLASS DESCRIPTIONS JUDGES AND SPEAKERS *Pet Tech First Aid & Care for your pets presented by Beth Christiano & Mary Oquendo *Reiki Attunement Level I & II Course presented by Pam Pollard & Mary Oquendo CONTEST ENTRY FORMS CREATIVE CHALLENGE EXTREME MAKEOVER FELINE FANTASY (Cat) INTERNATIONAL GROOMER OF THE YEAR RISING STAR OF THE YEAR HOTEL RESERVATION INFORMATION 2013 Winners’ Photographs CREATIVE CHALLENGE EXTREME MAKEOVER FELINE FANTASY INTERNATIONAL GROOMER OF THE YEAR RISING STAR OF THE YEAR SCHEDULE OF EVENTS TRADE SHOW INFORMATION WELCOME LETTER from the Show’s Producer * indicates a Certificate Course 5 INTERGROOM 2014 HILTON MEADOWLANDS EAST RUTHERFORD, NEW JERSEY April 5 - 7, 2014 This year hotel reservations should be made online at http://bit.ly/intergroom or by calling 201-896-0500 in order to receive the discounted Intergroom rate.

Dorothy McDermott had been with our on-site staff since 1997. Affectionately, we first referred to her as “Our Lady of the Clippers” since it was her particular job to supply clippers and blades to those over-seas competitors who needed equipment. As we slowly eliminated that position, she was moved to work more closely with Sue Pratt in the Competition management area. We will miss her smiling face and jolly disposition. May she Rest In Peace. The New England Pet Grooming Professionals would like to invite you to become a new member in our non-profit organization.

The Evolution of Mobile Grooming Presented by Dina Perry • Sponsored by Wag’n Tails Mobile Conversions Twenty years ago people would tell me mobile grooming was a fad. I can remember hearing phrases like “It will never work here” “I can’t charge that much!” Well things seem to have changed radically. Mobiles are everywhere, in every state; countries like Dubai, Kuwait, Mexico and Canada all have successful mobile groomers. Stylists have found the basic principles of mobile work everywhere. Less pets to groom, more money per pet, flexible hours and affluent clients are more than an attractive alternative to a salon. Equipment is better than ever, front wheel drive vehicles, affordable, fuel efficient diesels, rotating table tops all making life on the road easier and more profitable. Are you evolving or stagnating? Expanding Your Mobile Business Presented by Dina Perry • Sponsored by Wag’n Tails Mobile Conversions You have more clients than you can handle. They are all great AAA clients. You have a waiting list longer than a mile. Where do you go from here? Do you want to expand?
