Last year, Wrexham-based Karen Boyce, owner of Beastly Thoughts Professional Dog Services. Handled her friend’s Glen of Imaal* Terrier to the Best Bitch prize in the breed classes. At last month’s event, Karen, repeated the trick with her friend’s other dog to win Best Dog award.

Karen said: ‘I cannot believe we managed to win again this year. It’s wonderful to qualify, but to win our class was awesome and to be chosen as the best Dog on the day was fantastic! We were beaten to Best of Breed by a wonderful female Glen. We‘re a little disappointed we didn’t make it into the main arena and onto the telly, however.’

Karen Boyce, 56, originally from Shrewsbury, but now living in Froncysyllte. Has been helping families and their pets for 20 years. Besides running a large range of puppy classes, workshops, older dog training sessions and other fun events, Karen likes to help show owners with their show dogs and have the occasional day off herself to go along and show.
