The warnocks

Married for a decade, dogs and grooming have always been a big part of their lives. William has bathed, trained and kennel-teched at a handful of places in So CA where they used to reside. Natalie was grooming and managing, and continued while they moved to WA. They believe in quality care for all animals, and understand the fundamental importance to getting Schitz Sharp.

The proud owners of three gorgeous dogs; Loki the Corgi, Odin the Leonberger, and Thor the Standard Poodle.

William is holding and examining a knife in his hands, with a wooden wall background.


  • The husband side of the team, a Veteran with experience in versatile and precision sharpening. From shears to chef knives to medical equipment, Billy has sharpened it all to a razor finish.

    He enjoys long walks in the moonlight and Magic the Gathering.

  • The wife side of the business. Having been a grooming salon manager and salon owner for over 10 years and a groomer for 15, she brings a keen eye for sharp shears and an understanding for groomer’s comfort and needs in their shears as well as experience running a salon’s hectic schedule.

    She enjoys candle-lit bubble baths and slow burn fanfiction

  • Professional Yapper, Corgi

    Nearly 10 years old and with as much spunk as ever, Loki loves treats and playing tug of war. He’s the Warnocks’ first puppy and light of their lives. He’s gotten a little grumpy over the years, but loves a belly scratch and a good stretch.

  • Llondel’s Divining the Nine Realms, “Odin”

    Four years old and the biggest Mommy’s boy you’ll ever meet. He’s a big goofball who does weight-pull and would do anything to get you to throw the ball one more time, especially into the lake.

  • Serenity’s Thunderbolts and Lightning, “Thor”

    The baby of the family, born in 2025. He’s looking to the show ring with Natalie and is ready to bounce and leap his way wherever he wants. Absolutely the goofy youngest brother of the three.
