Please read the catalog carefully so that you can better benefit from everything Intergroom has to offer! For starters, our three day convention, trade show and grooming competitions are held on SATURDAY, SUNDAY and MONDAY: Just like the major shows in the human beauty industry! The trade show hours are a little different this year. These changes have all been implemented to make it easier for a busy groomer to attend the entire event without having to close their salons on the busiest days of the work week. Check the catalog carefully for new trade show hours, times of educational classes and grooming competitions as well. Our Rising Star & International Groomer of the Year Competitions begin on Saturday morning, continue on through Sunday and conclude just prior to the presentation of Best in Show, which will be awarded on the Trade Show floor on Sunday starting at 6:00PM. Monday morning brings the incredible “Extreme Makeover Competition” featuring dogs with a minimum of four months of hair growth. The unique “Feline Fantasy Competition” will be held in the adjacent ring! In the afternoon the ever-popular “Creative Challenge Competition” will take place so set aside time to enjoy the elaborate pet styling fabrications with color and sculpture limited only by the amazing imaginations of the individual stylists. As mentioned earlier, the trade show hours are changing. The new hours are: 10:00AM to 6:00PM on Saturday 10:00AM to 7:00PM on Sunday and 10:00AM to 4:00PM on Monday. On Sunday, from 10:00AM to 1:00PM, we will have a special area on the Trade Show floor to display at least ten different cat breeds in their show condition and in their “show decorated” display cages! This display is brought to us by the members of the TICA Cat Club. Sunday evening will offer dancing and live entertainment for everyone from 9:00PM until midnight on the second floor of the Holiday Inn with great music and friends! All attendees are welcome to join us. The evening’s festivities are presented by the GIVE-A-GIFT Foundation and the prestigious Groomy Awards. This year we have some of the country’s top professionals giving seminars throughout the show. Classroom seminars, as well as on-the-floor platform demonstrations, will fill the weekend with quality education. Class choices are clearly noted and explained in the catalog so please make your selections carefully before registering. This year we are making it possible to register on-line for educational classes and competitions as well as our Free Trade Show registration. Come, see and feel the excitement of INTERGROOM, 2012. Find yourself in the company of top pet stylists, hundreds of products and industry leaders from around the globe all sharing their knowledge, techniques and information to enhance your professional career. We’re looking forward to seeing you there. 3 NOTICE TO INTERGROOM 2012 ATTENDEES & COMPETITORS 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 Holiday Inn 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 one dog per room - with a non-refundable security deposit of $100. 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 12:00 pm on Friday, April 20th, until 5:00 pm on Monday, April 23rd. Please check in at the Expo Center. 3. Advance reservations are required noting that dogs will need to be accommodated. When you complete the room reservation form enclosed in this catalog, 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. The special "walking" and lavatory area for all dogs is located at the Holiday Inn (across the street from the Exposition Center) and at the Exposition Center. The areas will be clearly marked and no other area should be used for this purpose. 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 2012 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 Holiday Inn 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. Violations will be dealt with firmly. These can be serious problems. 4 TABLE OF CONTENTS 2012 PAGE ALPHABETICAL LISTING 53 54 7 32 36-39 CONVENTION REGISTRATION FORMS CONVENTION REGISTRATION EDUCATIONAL CLASSES DIRECTIONS TO THE MEADOWLANDS EXPOSITION CENTER EDUCATIONAL CLASS DESCRIPTIONS JUDGES AND SPEAKERS 24 Passionate Poodle Course Workshop with Sasha Reiss 27 *Pet Tech First Aid & Care for your pets presented by Beth Christiano & Mary Oquendo 25 *Reiki Attunement Level 1 Course presented by Pam Pollard & Mary Oquendo 49 47 51 45 43 6 48 46 50 44 42 28-31 16,17 3 CONTEST ENTRY FORMS CREATIVE CHALLENGE EXTREME MAKEOVER FELINE FANTASY (Cat) INTERNATIONAL GROOMER OF THE YEAR RISING STAR OF THE YEAR HOTEL RESERVATION INFORMATION 2011 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 2012 MEADOWLANDS EXPOSITION CENTER SECAUCUS, NEW JERSEY 07094 This year hotel reservations should be made directly at your hotel of choice in order to receive the discounted Intergroom rate.

When properly executed, it can rejuvenate the health of a lackluster coat while turning a shaggy coat into an object of beauty and a work of art. In this theory and practical skills presentation, Pam and Scott will focus upon basic handstripping tools, techniques and methods and will help you to understand how to safely and efficiently use them.

Don’t miss out on this extraordinary and enlightening presentation. Beauty from the Inside Out with Daryl Conner ~ Sponsored by Aesculap (German Red Clipper Co.) Customers ask us if we have a shampoo that can fix their pet’s itchy, flaky, dry, hotspot riddled, oily, smelly, oozy skin. As talented as we are, no topical product can cure skin problems. However, many skin issues can be improved by changing the pet’s diet. Having a good understanding of basic canine nutrition can help establish you as a subject matter expert, and your suggestions about diet can help your customers to help their pets. In this class you will learn the basics of canine nutritional needs, how to read pet food labels and find out the scoop with feeding raw. Armed with this knowledge you can teach your customers to learn how a good diet can create healthy, beautiful skin from the inside, out.
