Truly a 6-year-old Border Collie and her owner and handler, Karen Harrison from High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire took home the top obedience prize at Crufts on Sunday 8 March, after winning the Obedience Championship (Bitches) final. The judge was Kate McCartney.

Their precision, teamwork and strong obedience skills stood out in the ring. With competitors travelling from across the UK to take part, the standard remains incredibly high, making today’s achievement even more commendable.”
