Chester, Rufus, Lady, Honey, Prince Zaphar, Princess Zara, Lord Oscar, Queen Ruby and Countess Crystal have all participated at Crufts Dog Show during the past two decades and we have enjoyed immensely the excitement of the day and the thrill of watching our much loved Beagles strutting-their-stuff and performing their best for us in the world-famous competition held at the NEC in Birmingham each March.  The competition is very tough of course with the best dogs and bitches from all over the world in attendance.  There is no quarter taken here either as the stakes are extremely high with the top breeders all seeking supremacy in the ring and the tension is clear for all to see as each class takes to the ring, is judged against the standard and then completes leaving the competitors either highly elated or down in the mouth – challenging stuff this dog showing business you know !

CRUFTS 2020

Crufts Dog Show 2020 ~  would see Prince Zaphar & Countess Crystal represent the TRIECAP BEAGLES.  Prince Zaphar gave a wonderful performance, with his on lookers watching him give his final performance on the famous ‘Green Carpet’. The nod was given to him and he was awarded Reserve Veteran Dog. Wow what a way to finish his career on.  Prince Zaphar has made me so very proud to-date. Prince Zaphar has attended since 2009 – and being awarded in the years 2009-2011-2013-2018-2019 and 2020. (Michaels dog).

Countess Crystal did a splendid job in Post Graduate Bitch (the biggest class of the day 24) in attendance. Crystal stuffed her stuff around the arena, being watched by many in the seated area. The Judge Mr Darren Fellows gave the nod to us and was awarded 2nd place in the line up. What a wonderful feeling that was!
