Dashin' Hounds

Christina Jones LCGI, is the proprietor of Dashin' Hounds in Dundonald. After acquiring a Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier called Ella, Christina had trouble finding a groomer who could handle such a specialised breed and decided to complete a dog grooming course herself.

In 1996 Christina started off from her garage, planning to groom a few dogs per week and things grew quickly from there. She opened her first salon in 1997 in Carrickfergus and in the same year won the Shell Livewire Young Business Person of the Year (East) award.
