There is Nothing I enjoy more than being in the show ring esspecially when we're winning! I am always the first to jump in if someone needs a helping hand and really miss the handling classes now that I'm too old for the YKC so I have decided to turn my hand to handling professionally, I am prepared to handle all breeds of dog and my fees are reasonable, I have handled many different dogs in different breeds as you will see below and I love a challenge so whatever your needs are just e-mail on the link below or call 07921 814021 or 01484 686329
Here are just a few of our write ups, my handling even gets a mention in the breed write ups!
