Crufts 2014 – Absolutely Barking’s Harriet gets 3rd
Its the doggy event of the year, the largest dog show in the world and certainly one of the most talked about shows around. This year, Absolutely Barking’s Lisa with Black Russian Terrier Standhouse Temptation – Harriet were taking part!
Held at the NEC in Birmingham, it meant a bit of travelling for the team and a lot of preparation before the big day. Lisa spent months getting Harriets coat into her desired condition and many hours styling and shaping prior to the show. Entered in to the Junior Bitch class, the turnout was good with six entries from around the world. All the hard work paid off with Harriet getting 3rd in Class which means she is automatically entered for next years Crufts!
