Tiarne grew up in the dog show world. Having first picked up a pair of grooming scissors at age 12 in her parents garage, she knew her passion in life was her dogs. Growing up with English Springer Spaniels Tiarne spent years working on perfecting their grooming and presentation for the show ring until in 2006 her parents purchased her, her first Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. From there her passion for grooming and presenting dogs grew. Throughout the years Tiarne has handled and presented a wide range of dogs in many different countries and gained invaluable lessons from breed mentors along the way and now campaigns Poodles, Cavaliers and English Springer Spaniels. 
Tiarne Perkiss is the owner and founder of Perky Pooches Grooming Salon and Elite Dog Grooming Academy.
Having run a successful grooming salon for 10 years, Tiarne has trained many staff from the ground up who now successfully and confidently manage the day to day runnings of an industry leading salon.   
She is a selected member of Dogs Australia National Grooming Team, Groom Team Australia and the DGS Creative team and has won multiple Best In Show awards in both the Grooming and Show ring. Tiarne presents grooming seminars across Australia as part of T & Tay on Tour.
Tiarne is looking forward to competing internationally over the coming years and can’t wait to network with like minded groomers
