HerE is a little more about Kate and what we are fundraising for:


Kate has been invited to compete in the Hungarian Vizsla European Championship (Europa Cup) as part of team GB with her dog Roxombury Stevie Nicks for Vadkartya, or known to her friends as Delta! Delta is a 4 year old hungarian Vizsla Bitch with the most lovable temprament but she knowns exactly what to do once that lead is off!
The Europa Cup is being held in Germany this year with 15 different countries entered to compete! The competition will be run over 3 days with each dog hunting and retrieving individually on the Friday and Sunday, with the water and confirmation test on the Saturday.
