A devoted dog owner insists she is determined to uphold her family legacy at Crufts 2023. Amber Henshaw, who will celebrate her 34th birthday on the opening day of the competition on March 9, endured a challenging childhood and found solace in the social and welcoming atmosphere of dog shows after being introduced by her grandparents.
Henshaw made her showing debut at just six years old and has been following in the steps of her family ever since. The dog lover will return to the NEC in Birmingham next month with her English Pointer George in the Show Working Gundog class.
And Henshaw, who works as a civil servant, said: "My grandparents were in dog shows, so I first started attending Crufts when I was two years old. I had a challenging time at school so being around the dogs and shows, it became my second family.
