Young Affenpinscher Trainer Has Success At Crufts

Rosie Shepherd, 11, and her affenpinscher, Buzz, won the toy and utility cup for six to 11-year-olds at the world famous dog show.

Rosie, of Strelley Avenue, Wakes Meadow, had to get her four-year-old dog to stand still for the judges and walk in a triangle.

She said she was speechless at winning first prize.

She said: “We do a lot of training. Most days I’m at my grandmother’s, training, or at Wellingborough Dog Club. But we have never won anything as big as Crufts before.”
