WHAT DOG ACTIVITIES DO YOU TAKE PART IN?

Breed Classes, Handling & Stakes

HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN A YKC MEMBER?

About four or five years

HOW MANY DOGS DO YOU OWN/SHOW?

I own twelve dogs & have shown all of them apart from one who doesn't show

WHAT BREEDS HAVE YOU SHOWN/COMPETED WITH IN YOUR DISCIPLINE(S)?

I have had the odd different breed but I have stuck with Dalmatians, Beagles & Miniature Schnauzers really

WHAT IS YOUR FAVOURITE THING ABOUT DOGS?

The fact that they are always there for you, no matter what day it is

WHAT HAS BEEN YOUR MOST MEMORABLE MOMENT IN THE YKC?

Winning the Handling on my first ever time at Crufts then also winning it the second year running, along with winning the YKC Stakes at Crufts twice & being placed throughout.

Another memorable moment is that I have qualified five dogs for the YKC Stakes finals in both 2010 & 2011!

WHAT IS YOUR FAVOURITE THING ABOUT THE YKC?

You are with people your own age & you get to make so many new friends!

DO YOU HAVE ANY WORDS OF ADVICE FOR YKC MEMBERS NEW TO THE WORLD OF DOGS?

It's a great way to make friends & meet new people with the same interests as you & it also builds up your confidence as a person

CAN YOU SHARE A FAVOURITE/FUNNY MEMORY OF YOUR DOG?

I have so many good memories with my dogs, I couldn't choose just one memory.

HOW HAS YOUR DOG MADE A DIFFERENCE TO YOU OR YOUR FAMILY LIFE?

We started off with one Dalmatian & now we have a house full! They have taken over our family & every room you walk into has some sort of rosette, trophy or picture of them.

It's hard to think what life would be like if we didn't get Purdy, our first Dalmatian

WHERE IS YOUR FAVOURITE PLACE TO TAKE YOUR DOG?

Apart from Shows, long walks along the bank in the Summer

IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE THAT YOU WOULD LIKE TO ADD?

Nothing is impossible, all you have to do is believe!

Along with taking part in the YKC & Breed classes I also Judge on the C list for Dalmatians & Miniature Schnauzers along with Judging the junior & adult handlers. I have, for the past couple of years, been a steward at many Shows including Crufts 2010 & 2011
