Crufts BIS winner 2004, Deedee, pictured with owner, Mrs Lynn Yocoby Wright, and Peter Tomlins, Managing Director of Naturecraft.

CRUFTS’ SUPREME winner, Champion Deedee Cobyco Call the Tune was presented recently with a real treat - a one off hand-painted model of herself.

Deedee (as she is better known) is of course known to all as the beautiful Whippet who took the highest award at this year’s show. Best of Breed by Naturecraft Ltd, manufacturers of hand painted artware, were asked to present the memento to Deedee and her owner, Mrs Lynn Yacoby-Wright, at her home in Cheshire.

Peter A Tomlins, Managing Director, told OUR DOGS: “Over the years we have had many requests to produce one off hand painted sculptures of dogs, so this was no exception, but it was a sheer delight to meet Lynn with her Mum and her six Whippets. Four of these I believe all are Champions, and it was delightful to meet a person so bubbly and full of life as Lynn, who is obviously dedicated to her dogs.”
