“The Young Kennel Club is something that means a lot to me and I think that the activities organised are brilliant at encouraging more and more people to join. It has definitely opened my eyes to the dog world. Now I dedicate most of my spare time to dog training, competing and taking part in YKC events, and I would not have it any other way – I am never bored!” – Alexandra Duesbury, YKC Member
