Best Young Achievers Recognised
Last year's winner Linzi Follett with the trophy
The UK’s top young achievers in the dog world are set to be recognised in a special ceremony at DFS Crufts, on Sunday March 14th at the NEC in Birmingham.

Nominations have now closed for the Shaun McAlpine Outstanding Young Person Award, the highest level of achievement for the country’s young dog owners. Presented by the Young Kennel Club (YKC), the award acknowledges those young people who have excelled through their involvement with dogs, such as working tirelessly to fund raise or increase awareness for charity, helping to organise dog activities in their area or succeeding in dog showing or training.

The ceremony will include a celebratory parade for young achievers along with their four-legged friends, followed by announcing the winners in each category; 6-11 years, 12-16 years and 17-24 years. The overall winner will be announced live in the Young Kennel Club ring to coincide with the Young Kennel Club’s Silver Jubilee anniversary, which celebrates 25 years of helping young dog lovers learn new skills.
