Galen Triumphs at Crufts

Here at Galen we have been celebrating a very successful Crufts, scooping many prizes in the agility. The two most notable ones were Lisa Le Signe with “Chi” aka O’Bay Truly Focused, a Shetland Sheepdog who won the Singles Medium Final and Tania Bull with “Tally” aka An Talmh Dearg, a Border Terrier who came second in the Novice Cup Small.

Lisa Le Signe and Chi
Lisa and Galen have had a very long relationship and she is a firm advocate of pre and post event massage, and treatments to maintain optimum health for all her dogs and it is an essential part of her preparation and training regime. Galen congratulates her for her amazing achievement - to reach such accolades takes huge amounts of dedication and work!

Lisa says, "It is such an achievement to have won at Crufts, I am so proud.  I am also very grateful for the massaging skills that I learnt from Julia, Galen therapy Principle.  Julia taught me how to improve & maintain Billy's musculature in preparation for his Crufts debut in the circular knockout in 2005.  These skills have enabled me to assist in Chi's recovery from an operation to remove a fibro carcenoma in his neck & in preparing him for such a prestigious event as Crufts."

Tania Bull and Tally
Tania has been bringing her dogs to Galen for a couple of years and it has been enjoyable watching her fantastic progress with her lovely team of dogs. Tania has done so well with Tally and they have done brilliantly to come second at Crufts.  Well done!

Galen would also like to congratulate Kath Griffin (diploma student) with her beautiful Red and White Irish Setter, “Murdoch” aka  Sh Ch Vanders Veracity, who won Best of Breed and came Third in the Gun Dog Group.
