 At
Crufts 2008, in the Breed Club Stand Competition,
Midlands & Northern were awarded "Best Breed Club Stand in
the Hound Group"! This award is made to the club, which in
the opinion of the judges, presents the most attractive stand
offering quality services to its members. Thanks for this must
largely go to Gill Lawless for her design, to both Gill and Janice
Ellis for their marathon stint in manning the stand for most of an
extremely long day and to Toni Agnew and Lisa Maurin in helping to
set up the stand. We are extremely proud to say that this is the
fourth time in five years that we have won the award! |
The Breed Council representing all four Rhodesian Ridgeback Clubs in Britain meets twice a year to discuss all Rhodesian Ridgeback related issues. Its function is to collate the collective views of all clubs and present them to The Kennel Club. News of The Breed Council activities will be posted as available.
Discover Dogs is becoming increasingly popular. In future on ridgeback day at Crufts, the stand will be manned, and ridgebacked, by some of our Rescue Rhodesian Ridgebacks (check out their stories). We also attend Discover Dogs at Earls Court, London, in November and in May we represent Rhodesian Ridgebacks at the "All About Dogs" exhibition in Essex. We always need people to help with these events so if you would care to volunteer your services for a couple of hours it will alleviate the strain on the regulars who do a full days stint, which is unfair on their Ridgebacks. With hundreds of people milling around asking questions, some sensible, some ridiculous, even Ridgebacks get tired out. As long as your dog is "bombproof" and you like talking (and lets face it what RR owner doesn't) Please offer to help.
