Jane Adams, Obedience & Ringcraft Trainer,
& Club Member.

I first started showing Labradors 18 years ago, where I had many 1st places and Best of Breed's. I then went on to get a 2nd Lab, Kingsley, a Chocolate, who won two Challenge Certificates ( you need 3 to become a Show Champion)
he is now 12 and 2003 will be his last time at crufts.
The hobby grew and now I have my Labs living with friends and family throughout the country.
I also breed the occassional litter.
Having taken 8 dogs to Crufts 2002, this year (2003) I have decided to take only 3
(....or 4!!)

I have been teaching Ring craft for several years, and Obedience for about 18 years,
having many problem dogs along the way, a lot of which i am glad to say have improved a great deal.
I teach obedience on a monday evening, along with ring craft on the same night,
for anyone wishing to participate.

I am married with 2 children, Kirsty (8) and James (2 1/2), we have 2 cats, & 5 Labs and a collie.
Jake my collie is a resue from local kennels,
He has been doing agility for a short while, and has entered a couple of shows,
his second show - winning 1st place in elementary jumping!

Feb 2004 Update: Jake has moved in with sue, another member.
