OUR NEWS AT A GLANCE

CRUFTS 2012
My girls had a very successful Crufts.

Maddie won the HTM Final and was second in the Freestyle Final and was just pipped at the post into second place in the International Freestyle. So very proud of my energetic young girl who performed 6 times in the main arena  over the three days and looked as fresh and enthusiastic on the Saturday as she did on the first day!

Bonnie has her retirement party and I was very proud of both her perfomances in the Freestyle and Heelwork Finals - taking creditable 6th and 7th places.

Little Gertie enjoyed her outing in the breed ring and managed a 4th place - perhaps she will do a little showing again this year!
