It All Started With A Passion

Welcome To Swifthounds!

I’m Jeannine and i’m passionate about Helping every dog look and feel their best. my journey Began in 1993 when I fell in love with grooming and showing my first dog. originally from South Africa, i Practiced dentistry before moving to the U.S., where I turned my lifelong passion for dogs into a fulfilling career.

specializing in canine aesthetics, I focus on the health of every dog’s skin and coat. Years of experience with show dogs has taught me the importance of maintaining dogs in peak condition, and i bring that same dedication to every dog i groom.

My success as a dog show Handler has taken me around the world, showing dogs in south africa, england, russia and now the u.S.- and Every dog I have worked with has reminded me of the beauty of Individuality.

kerry blue terriers are my personal favorite breed to groom and i have owned and shown many over the years. they are notoriously difficult to groom, but i love their unique hair that allows for true artistic expression through hand scissoring and sculpting. my current love, and enduring passion since my First one in 1999, is the Afghan hound.

At swifthounds, I prioritize personalized care, ensuring your dog’s specific needs are met, whether it is addressing itchy skin, dry coats or overall health and beauty. I believe in helping owners with home care and maintenance to keep their best friends happy and healthy.
