A six-year-old boy from Bolton will be one of the youngest competitors at Crufts this year as he makes his debut at the world’s greatest dog show after just five months of showing. Jacob Kenwright has been in the ring for just a matter of months and was counting down the days to hit the minimum entry age requirement of six.
And he has now successfully qualified to compete on the famous green carpet, accompanied by four-year-old Jack Russell, Jemima.
Jacob is set to compete in the Jack Russell breed category, as well as the 6-11-year-old young handler competition, on Saturday - and Mum Leigh admits he simply can’t wait for his bow.
