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.

Through her passion of training her Dalmatians she became aware that as a breed they didn't take well to the then '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.

Late 2004 she set up Paws, firstly as a Dog Walking Service then expanding to Canine Behavioural Services and Training Classes. Rebecca is currently in her third year studying at Bishop Burton College, Hull to gain herself a Degree in Canine Behaviour & Training. She is also a Student Member of the Kennel Clubs Dog Trainers Accreditation Scheme. To meet Rebecca & her dogs on her Dalmatians site visit; www.koroyza-dalmatians.com.
