All of Kate’s family are involved with dog handling and the family live with 10 dogs. Kate’s Grandma used to train and show Golden Retrievers, her Mum is a part time dog handler, her dad trains gun dogs and her sister is training to be a vet. Kate got Gin when she was 10 and has trained her from a pup and so far Kate has dedicated her life to competing. Kate and Gin have competed in CRUFTS together and have won a CG Certificate. Kate’s dream is to become a top judge at CRUFTS. Kate entered Britain’s Got Talent to show off her canine freestyle.

Kate has dedicated her life so far to dog training and showing. She consequently didn’t have many friends at school because she never went out in the evenings or on the weekends – she was always competing or training. She wasn’t happy at school because the few friends she had never understood why she wouldn’t ever come out and she was bullied for spending her time with Gin. However she is much happier now, as she is in her 1st year of an animal management course at college, where all her friends are in the same boat and understand her passion and dedication. She lives with her Mum, Dad and sister. She is close to her family and loves Gin more than anything in the world
