My name is Hetty van Hassel and my dog is called Detania
the Wizz Kid. We are delighted that we have been invited to represent Great Britain
I fell in love with him when I was visiting Angela and Tony
Gillespie, when Wizz was about 5 weeks old, and decided he just needed to come
and live with me, even though I had not planned on getting any puppy at all. The
first year of his life he refused to do any training and insisted on being a pet
dog, which was fine by me, as I think that training has to be something we both
enjoy. However, he saw the light when he was about a year old and invited me to
dance with him instead of my other dog Violet. After that, he started to ask
for more and more training and we started competing when he was 4 years old. He
just needed a bit of time to grow up, I think, as he is totally addicted to his
training sessions now and refuses to go home when a session is finished!
Wizz has accompanied me to several seminars and workshops I
have given abroad and we have done several demos at dog shows and gala's all
over Europe in the past few years, so I am sure
that Wizz will love to perform at the OEC. I think it will be an amazing
experience for both of us and I will thoroughly enjoy watching all the other
routines. To be able to see all those outstanding performances live will be
absolutely wonderful!!!
