CRUFTS 2012: HEELWORK TO MUSIC AND FREESTYLE competitors

In a certain way this year this year the participants will not have to deal with Richard Curtis . Last year Richard Curtis has dominated the event by collecting the 1st and 2nd place in the Freestyle finals. He dominates also in the 2010 with the 1st place in the Freestyle Competition , second in the International Freestyle Competition and 3rd in Heelwork to Music This year he will be part of the jury, along with Michelle Dodson & Kath Hardman. As regards the participants of the International freestyle , we will see a lot of competitors faced with their first Crufts, like Carmen Schmid from Germany , Vanda Gregorova from the Czech Rep. , Jill Houston from Australia , Susan Kleijnhans from South Africa and more.

I'm just anxious to see with what will delights us the participants.
