A DUO from Week St Mary have enjoyed their time at Crufts this year!

Best friends Will Bacchus and his spaniel Aston (pictured right) had a great time at Crufts, despite Aston’s appearance at the competition being in doubt.

Will had to dash Aston to the vet before travelling to Birmingham. Fortunately it was nothing serious and Aston was given the all clear to compete.

Aston prefers trickier, twisty courses but that was not to be this year. The three courses they ran were fast and flowing, suited to faster dogs like Will’s other dog Rudi.

The pair just missed out on the placings, coming 7th in the under 18 YKC Agility Dog of the Year.

Will was very pleased that Aston remained focused throughout the three days as it is very noisy, tiring and an alien environment for Aston.

Aside from the competing, Will enjoyed catching up with friends, buying new toys for his furry friends and watching some amazing agility.

Aston enjoyed sampling the vast variety of food available and made lots of new friends along the way.
