 2026 Crufts - Obedience

Good Luck to our club competing in Obedience and Ringcraft this year

Especially : Theo O'Donnell and Luna who have qualified for the final of the Special Pre-Beginners competition.

 7 way Match - Date : Sunday 15th February 2026 - Great result - 4th overall

Every year a number of training clubs get together to run an inter club competition obedience match. Each club has to put a dog and handler forward for every level – from Pre Beginner up to C (introductory dropped this year). They compete against the other handlers at the same level, and win points for the club. At the end, the scores are added up, and there is an overall winning club.

Venue : Community Hall, Kilnbarn Road, Ditton, ME20 6AH
