Vanessa McAlpine. Events & Education Executive at The Kennel Club.

[[:encoded, "The Young Kennel Club's mission is to engage and support young people in all dog related activities by providing an enjoyable, challenging and rewarding programme centred on a love of dogs. Lots of the members take part in Crufts each year, in a variety of dog activities. Some of our members have even taken their passion for dogs to the screen, like Ashleigh & Pudsey who went on to win Britain’s Got Talent! But it's not all fame and competition - far from that. Our proudest achievement is that we've brought together a community of young dog lovers."]]
