WHAT DOG ACTIVITIES DO YOU TAKE PART IN?

Dog Agility & I hope to start competing in Handling & Showing with my Cavalier, Mitzy, or maybe in Breed Showing.

HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN A YKC MEMBER?

About two or three months

HOW MANY DOGS DO YOU OWN?

I have two ruby Cavalier King Charles Spaniels called Mitzy & Millie, they are half sisters and are both four years old.

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

I compete in Agility with Millie & hope to do quite well with her as she is showing progress! I am so proud of her. I also hope to compete in Handling & Breed Showing.

WHAT IS YOUR FAVOURITE THING ABOUT DOGS?

My fave thing about dogs is that they never hide their personality & it always shines through, they will always try their hardest at everything & most of all, they are your best friend no matter what!

WHAT HAS BEEN YOUR MOST MEMORABLE MOMENT IN THE YKC?

It would be Kinross show 2011, Millie won two 1st places & I was so proud. She won the waggiest tail & also the under 14 years best in show handler. She got two awesome rosettes & £1.00 each class for me.

WHAT IS YOUR FAVOURITE THING ABOUT THE YKC?

It has to be the friendliness of everybody & they always look so happy, also the opportunities are great.

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

In Agility, I always try to watch others compete & see the traps, this is also good for any dog activity.

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

The day that I was training Millie & she finally cracked the weave, she was doing really well & that day she just got it & did it on her own. She was really fast with the rhythm bouncing in her legs!

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

We have become more active, have more company in the house & I have started to do Agility. We have always had dogs, Mitzy and Millie being a surprise to my mum, my brother and myself, Dad had it all planned out!!

I know so much about dogs & really hope to have some sort of career with them, maybe in the police force? If there is one thing I know it is that I REALLY LOVE dogs!

WHERE IS YOUR FAVOURITE PLACE TO TAKE YOUR DOG?

As I live on a farm, I can walk for miles & miles with both dogs through the long grass, through the water & up through the woods where they get to chase rabbits & have such a fun time! Also, I take them to the beach because they can run for miles, go in the water & play - it is amazing

IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE YOU WOULD LIKE TO ADD?

I love both of my dogs so much & always will do, when you go out to train, go to a show or just out having fun, remember you are always taking the best dog home!
