If you watched the finale of Crufts last week, did you marvel at the way those dogs gaited round the ring, perfectly in tune with their handlers? Wondered how they knew exactly when to stop, standing four square and gazing at their handlers with such an alert expression?

Well, the answer is that they probably started quite young, at a local ringcraft class, where they and their owners practised hard until they hard learned their job.

Atticus has been going to ringcraft, and this week he won his first rosette - as Best Puppy in Match.

We're very proud of him, and we are sure it won't be long before he wins some more Best Puppy awards!
