Hide AdMs Hopkinson, a nail technician, said: “When he was a puppy it was absolutely horrendous trying to train him – he got ticked off a few times for being disobedient and not agreeing with how I handled him, but this is what we’ve ended up with.
“It’s been a lot of work and training to get to this stage, as well as being helped by a friend of mine with all the training.
“He’s just a darling now – he’s a normally a bit crazy and not that laid back like he’s been today.
“The atmosphere has been great – Crufts is a lot better than other shows.”
