The Young Kennel Club Pat Dufty Legacy Award recognises an individual or group of volunteers who have positively influenced the Young Kennel Club through their voluntary work. It is announced at Crufts each year.
Our annual awards celebrate young people who transform the lives of others. Whether it's mentoring other young people, fundraising or campaigning, all our winners have the desire to make a difference and improve the lives of dogs.
The Richard Barker Memorial Shield is awarded at Crufts to the young kennel club overall winner of the Dog Groomer of the Year.
