Top dog Domino wins Crufts prize
Comments |
A teenage animal lover from East Langdon and her
border collie have taken first prize in a dog obedience contest at
the national dog show Crufts.
Emma Coyle, 13, and her pet Domino
came first in the six to 24 years elementary class for dog handling
(obedience) in the competition.
The St Edmund's School pupil said: "I
was chuffed to bits and really proud that my dog had won.
"He didn't like the lights and
flashing cameras, but he did really well and I'm proud of him."
Emma, who came away with a plaque and
rosette, impressed judges with two lots of heelwork where six
year-old Domino had to stay by her side while walking.
She also wowed adjudicators with one
recall and two lots of stays where he sat and stay and laid down
and stay.
