Hotch-potch of miscellaneous items
This post is rather a miscellaneous collection... a hotch-potch!
Crufts is long over and forgotten. Personally, I think the coverage this year was better than we have had for some time. The extra programme devoted to things other than best in breed, and show, was a real plus.
Flyball, agility, and dancing to music all had some good coverage on that programme... good to see. Mary Rae was a highlight for many once again.
British Summer Time [BST] is now with us, with it I hope for some better weather for all outdoor dog sports and training! What a laugh - we've had more snow since BST than in all the previous year in this area of the Midlands!
Health news for today is one of the many blogs by Dr Eddy... you'll find us within his list of Neighborhoods. There is a lot info on health issues and quite a few interesting dog blogs to be found there too.

Young Kennel Club, (YKC)
Back in 1985 an organisation to encourage young people, from 6 to 24 years old, to learn more about training and caring for dogs was formed... it is now know as YKC [the Young Kennel Club].
Members have loads of activities to take part in, from small dog shows right up to huge events like Crufts in Birmingham or Discover Dogs in London. Also members can learn from experts such as vets and dog training instructors, which will enhance their experiences with their pets.
Another benefit of membership is that there are residential courses available with seminars and training. Members can enjoy, in a social atmosphere, learning about agility, obedience, flyball, handling, and heelwork to music [doggy dancing].
For just £10 a year the list of benefits is amazing... do check it out, email ykc@the-kennel-club.org.uk for more information.
Alternatively, visit The Kennel Club website... you'll find a separate section just for YKC members.
It would make a brilliant gift for any youngster!
