Wow what a day yesterday was! I went to the try outs with Skye to be in the GCDS silver North West Demonstration team for Crufts 2012. Kathryn Stickney was also there with Harry, Emma with Bella, Elaine with Rosie and Jackie with Snowy. Excellent turn out from Newton Heath. There were around 35-40 dogs there and only 9 could go through. Sadly Rosie and Snowy didn’t make it but the good news is that Skye, Harry and Bella all made the team. We are doing the demonstrations on the Friday and Sunday at Crufts. All the dogs there were amazing, the selection panel had said the standard of all the dogs were one of the highest they had seen. Great day for Newton Heath Obedience section and special thanks has to got to Ken Worrell and Trevor Avis for their hard work in getting these dogs to this standard.

Well done to all the dogs and its great news that Karren Emma and Kathryn have qualified for Crufts
I will never forget the kindness shown to me and my dog, Shep, by Ken Worrall and the other instructors and trainers when in my teens I was trying to keep up with the excellent standard of these lovely people and their gorgeous, beautifully trained animals. It has stayed with me throughout all these years with fond memories, as I’ve since taught Roy, Glen and now Gyp (he says “hello” by the way!) It will not be forgotten, only appreciated. I really hope that the friends I will never forget live forever!
