Louie

LOUIE and Katy
Details
Breed	Golden Retriever
Age	7
Sport	Competitive Obedience
Years Doing Sport	I first started dabbling in obedience around five years ago, but it wasn't until the past three years that I began to take the sport more seriously.
Favourite memory with your Canine Athlete	My favourite memory with Louie has to be qualifying him for Crufts. Crufts has always been something I looked forward to attending every year, so being able to walk onto that green carpet and show off my beautiful boy was an incredible experience and one I will always treasure.
Sporting Achievements	One of my proudest achievements so far has been winning our Young Kennel Club category in our class at Crufts in both 2024 and 2025, as well as being selected to represent South East & East Anglia at Crufts 2026.

About Us
I am 23 years old and I work as a Canine Hydrotherapist and Dog Trainer. Louie is my absolute soul dog and anyone who knows me, knows just how obsessed I am with him! One of the things I love most about obedience is how inclusive it is of all breeds and ages. Louie didn't start competing in obedience until he was five years old, and starting later has never stopped us. If anything, it has shown me that obedience really is a sport where dogs can begin at any age and progress at their own pace. Being an Antinol Athlete means a great deal to me as it reflects both my competitive journey with Louie and my professional background. Through my work as a Canine Hydrotherapist, I see first-hand how important joint support is for dogs, particularly those competing in sport. Being able to support Louie's health while continuing to enjoy training and competing together is something I truly value.
