Scots youngsters - and their Scotties - win prizes at their first ever Crufts

Congratulations to them!

Daphne, eight, and six-year-old Evie began showing dogs with their grandmother Jane McNiven, 60, only 18 months ago.

Now the family, from Alexandria, are celebrating winning three titles at this year's event in Birmingham with Scottish Terriers Edward and Ebony. Daphne took first place in the Young Kennel Club junior handling 6-11 years competition, while Evie finished fourth in the postgraduate bitch class."There wasn’t really any nerves, I was just excited to see how I did and how Edward behaved.”“As their Granny, picking up a new hobby for me, and then having the girls involved has been wonderful.“It has taken me 60 years to come to Crufts and they are coming at six and eight. What a first day we have had.
