Taking place in Balen, Belgium on 25-27 August, the Heelwork to Music Team Great Britain will consist of four Crufts winners, a world champion and European champions.
With the team comprising five Border Collies, a working Sheepdog and a Beagle, the team are entering both the Heelwork to Music Championship and the Freestyle Championship where competitors create their own programmes with musical interpretation, entertaining themes and costumes.
The Company of Animals has strong links to Heelwork to Music, offering its own classes run by Lucy Heath at its animal behaviour centre in Surrey. Lucy will be a reserve for Team Great Britain with her dog Indie. She previously competed at Crufts in 2013 and 2015 and came third in Heelwork to Music in 2016.
