Triumphant Dancing Dogs
Team GB at the World Championships
The Championships were held at Herning in Denmark from 25 - 27 June 2010, in conjunction with the World Dog Show.
The gold medal was won in the individual Heelwork to Music class by Kath Hardman with her Border Collie, Amber. The silver medal went to the GB team in the Heelwork to Music team category, which comprised Kath and Amber, Carole Dodson with her Border Collie, Clifton and Gina Pink (team manager) with Bailey, a German Spitz (Mittel).
The team had been training and preparing for the Championship intensively since February. At the same time, they were initiating and supporting a wide variety of fund-raising activities which included a Heelwork to Music cabaret evening at the Kennel Club Building at Stoneleigh, Warwickshire in which the team participated and which featured a guest appearance by Mary Ray.
Caroline Kisko, Kennel Club Communications Director, said: “The Kennel Club would like to congratulate the Heelwork to Music team on their gold and silver success. It is very encouraging to see such a great result in the first ever World Championships and sets a very high standard for future competitors.”
