Saturday 20 August 2011
We are pleased to announce that Lottie qualified for YKC Groomer
of the Year at Crufts in March 2012 at the Welsh Kennel Club Champ
Show at Builth Wells. Well done Lottie! |

Lottie has done well with her Junior Handling so far this year.
She has so far achieved one 1st place, two 2nd places and a 3rd.
She is trying hard to qualify for Junior Handling at Crufts next
year in addition to her grooming, but is finding it hard as she
has now gone up an age group and is usually one of the youngest in
the class. In order to qualify for Crufts she has to be placed
first in a Crufts qualifying class - not an easy task when she is
usually competing against young people a lot older and more
experienced than her, but having a very competitive spirit, she
will keep on trying until she achieves her goal! |
