Help Fife Animals member Jeanette Fyfe has been busy putting the finishing touches to her Canine Freestyle routine with her Golden Retriever, which she will perform at Crufts when she represents Scotland in the International Freestyle final.
The final will take place at DFS Crufts, the biggest dog show in the world, on Saturday 13th March 2010 when she will compete with a routine to music from Strictly Come Dancing against 12 other countries.
Jeanette competes at HTM advanced level and Canine Freestyle at Intermediate level with 7 year old Ziegy and were invited by the Kennel Club to give a demonstration at last years Crufts event.
Other Help Fife Animal members competing at DFS Crufts this year are Amy Jackson with Jess, Callum Ferguson with Patch, Christian Mackay with Jura and Jason and Erin Logie with Ace and Buzz.
The five young people will compete in YKC finals in Heelwork to Music, Canine Freestyle and Obedience and Agility.
Erin has also been nominated in the 6-11 year old category for the Shaun McAlpine Outstanding Young Person Award which is the highest level of achievement for the country’s young dog owners at a special ceremony on Sunday.
Presented by the Young Kennel Club (YKC), the award acknowledges young people who excel in their involvement with dogs—such as working tirelessly to raise funds or increase awareness for charity, helping to organise dog activities in their area or succeeding in dog showing or training.
The ceremony will have a celebratory parade for all of the young achievers and their four-legged friends, followed by an announcement of the winners in each category—6-11 years, 12-16 years and 17-24 years.
The overall winner will be announced live in the YKC ring to coincide with the silver jubilee anniversary, which celebrates 25 years of helping young dog lovers learn new skills.
