A 17-YEAR-OLD is celebrating after winning a dog grooming competition with her miniature black poodle.

Christine Anderton came first in the junior class of the Euro Groom competition with her 10-year-old pet poodle, Beckham.

She also came second in the best scissored dog round beating two people from Groom Team England.

Miss Anderton, of Montem Road, Forest Hill, said: “It was my third competition which I have done and it’s the best result I have got so far.

“I feel really happy to have the title considering my age.”

The teenager works at grooming salon, Absolutely Animals in Burnt Ash Hill, Lee. She says Beckham loves to be groomed and pampered.
