Jump up and join in the fun with the Young Kennel Club…..
Everybody knows that Crufts is all about the crème de la crème of competing, jumping obstacles at remarkable speeds and generally looking fantastic in the ring. But where does a young person full of enthusiasm and their four legged friend go to learn the basics?
With twenty five years experience and thousands of members to testify all about the fun and games on offer, the Young Kennel Club is undoubtedly the best place to start so maybe you or somebody in your family would like to come and join in the fun? The choice of activities on offer, whatever your age and whatever your interest, just keeps getting bigger and better each year and the more involved you become the more fun both of you will have.
Our stand and ring offer the chance for young people at the show – from children right through to young adults – to join in. Packed full of displays, competitions and interactive fun for young people it is the place to come if you are looking to try something new and ‘have a go’ whilst at the show.
