I live with my 6 dogs and 1 cat in Lincolnshire. Ash, an 11
year old Shetland Sheepdog, Trent, a 10 year old Smooth Collie, Indie, a 9 year
old Border Collie, Foxy, a 4 year old Border Collie, Trip Hazard, a 3 year old
Pomeranian x Maltese, Dizzy, a 1 year old Pomeranian x Maltese and Littlepuss,
a 10 year old Siamese cat.
Trip is an Advanced Freestyle and Intermediate
Heelwork dog (and made it to the final of Britain's Got Talent 2016) and Foxy
currently competes in Intermediate Freestyle and Heelwork.
I started competing
in September 2010 with Indie (Stillmoor Winter Sun) and we won up through the
classes incredibly quickly. Indie has qualified for the Crufts finals in 2013,
2015 and 2016 where she took 3rd place in the Heelwork to Music final, which
was the highlight of our Heelwork to Music career so far.
Indie is very
experienced and won the ITV show That Dog Can Dance on Boxing Day 2012, got 4
yeses and a standing ovation on her Britain's Got Talent audition 2015 and does
advertising work.
Indie is the dog of my dreams and I couldn't wish for a
better dance partner. She lives to train and work and she would never let me
down - her only "issue" is getting too excited about working and
sometimes being vocal. She is a complete "goodie two shoes" and so
willing and obedient in every day life - she lives to please me and is a
pleasure to live with.
I let Indie down in the Crufts semi finals this year,
due to being away from home for so long during the run up to the show in
Pantomime with Trip, so I am absolutely honoured that we have been selected as
the Heelwork to Music reserves for TEAM GB. I am excited to knuckle down and focus on
Indie's routine and even if we are not competing, it will be a great experience
to travel abroad with such a talented group of trainers - some of which I used to
sit and watch when I was younger and only dream that I could do what they do.
