As part of a Committee, Mike & Debbie both help to run fortnightly ringcraft dog training classes and regularly host Kennel Club required seminars, also helping with rescue and re-homing of Dobermann.

 We have gained so much pleasure from the world of dogs that we work very hard to give something back through our Committee work.

 We are always ready to extend a helping hand to anyone who asks.
