Obedience Rewarded at Crufts with the Rebecca Pointer Memorial Award

On Friday 6th March at Crufts, the Kennel Club will be presenting Young Kennel Club members who have been placed first through sixth on the Rebecca Pointer Memorial Award 2008.

The Rebecca Pointer competition runs annually for Young Kennel Club (YKC) members aged 8-18 years. The trophy is presented each year at Crufts to the YKC member who has achieved the most with their dog in the wonderful world of obedience. The presentation provides the winners with a big chance to receive the recognition that both the members and dogs deserve for working so hard at obedience shows all year. Points are given for wins and places to sixth at YKC events and classes, Companion, Limited, Open and Championship shows. This is an amazing achievement and the award can only be won once by a YKC member.

The YKC management team would like to announce and congratulate the overall winner for 2008, Daniel Thompson and his Working Sheepdog, Mills on Wheels. Daniel, who is aged seventeen years old, and his three year old bitch, Millie, qualified for Crufts 2008 in YKC obedience and they are both delighted to have won the award.
