REBECCA CROFT & FENN
Rebecca has been involved with dogs throughout her lifetime, growing up with West Highland White Terriers. It wasn't until she left home that she became involved with her chosen breed the Dalmatian, she is now a Kennel Club Accredited Breeder of the Dalmatian and has judged the breed on several occassions at Open Show Level. She currently has a Miniature Jack Russell Terrier called Peanut and three Dalmatians; Fenn, Tegan and Walter. She also co-owns a further four Dalmatians for her sins!!

Through her passion of training her Dalmatians she became aware that as a breed they didn't take well to the 'Traditional Methods' used in some training clubs and was determined to show that Dalmatians are just as trainable as the Border Collie with the correct motivation! Since then she has had successes in not only the breed show ring owning the UK Top Dalmatian Stud Dog 2004 & 2005 but also gaining very respectable places in Open Obedience and Open Agility Competitions. She has also trained her Dalmatians in Heelwork to Music and is currently training to gain her dogs Road Dog Accreditations within the British Carriage Dog Society's events, having herself judged the Nationals Carriage Dog Trials 2009.
