Rudi (A Message To You Rudi)

RUDI

Rudi is a working cocker spaniel born in January 2013. Rudi came to Will’s house as a 17 month old rescue dog who, Will was told, was almost impossible to train and couldn’t sit,wait or fetch!

Rudi has proven to be the perfect dog. He is totally chilled and relaxed at home but comes alive on the agility course. Rudi loves to please, has been a delight to train and has a string of impressive victories to his name
