OKEHAMPTON’S Lauren Langman is at it again, having qualified three of her canine companions for Crufts.
The head trainer of Devon Dogs at East Bowerland Farm on the outskirts of town, Lauren competes in agility at level seven, the highest rank of competition in the British agility arena, and has previously represented Team GB at the World Agility Championships.
2015 was Lauren’s most successful competition year ever, winning six agility championship certificates with three different dogs, taking one of her dogs to agility champion status in six months and making it onto the IFCS World Agility Team with two dogs.
Lauren said she was having the time of her life and that she is living the dream.
She will take her two border collies and seasoned competition veterans Fiji and Tiki to Crufts along with her cocker spaniel Blink, who will be competing at Crufts for the very first time.
Blink was due to be a gun dog but after her owners changed their minds, she went to live with Lauren.
Crufts, the world’s biggest dog show, runs from March 10 to March 13.
