The worlds’ biggest dog show is once more being held at the NEC in Birmingham running from 7th-10th March with 6 members being very much involved. Val Dickens and Kiri along with Alison Gresty and Dani have both qualified for the Bitch Obedience Championships and will be competing against each other. Paige Jepson with Puzzle and Floss have qualified in the Young Kennel Club obedience section, grooming, handling and breed stakes. Paige also won the YKC Good Buddy of the year award, celebrating young people and their dogs who have proven to be an inspirational role. This award allows Paige to be nominated for Young Person of the year, results of which will be announced at Crufts. Yvonne Kelsall one of Danesfords trainers will be participating in the Bronze Good Citizen Training ring and will take her Bronze test with Vikki whilst there. Being an advanced KC accredited trainer Yvonne will also be helping with the Special Beginner ring and the Gold Team display demo in the main arena. Rachel and Chip are representing the Midlands in the Inter Regional Obedience Competition. Sue Nicholls-Ward well respected as a breed judge will be taking Fliss who is the first Spanish Waterdog to achieve Kennel Club Junior Warrant by 18months old. We also have Jodie Parry who is a volunteer behind the scenes. We wish everyone the very best of luck over the 4 days, and win or lose, what an honour be part of this amazing event.
Below Jodie , Sue, Yvonne, Val, Gwyneth (Trainer), and Paige from Thursday night training all ready for Crufts. Good Luck.
