Each year The Kennel Club sends competitors to the Open European Championships and World Championships to represent the UK.
Due to the ongoing changes surrounding Covid-19 and international travel, it has been decided that The Kennel Club will not be advertising for a heelwork to music team GB this year. We hope to be able to update you with 2022 information as soon as possible.

FCI World Championships
2020 information
With regret, The Kennel Club, after consultation with the Heelwork to Music (HTM) working party must announce that they have decided to withdraw HTM Team GB from the FCI World Championships in France in October 2020, due to the Covid-19 pandemic. It is acknowledged that this situation will cause disappointment for all team members who have worked hard and looked forward to competing in France for many months.
At this stage, it is unclear if the championships will indeed go ahead, but in any event, The Kennel Club and the HTM working party feel that the health, safety and welfare of HTM Team GB is and must remain of paramount importance. The Kennel Club and the HTM working party send best wishes to all team members and look forward to seeing them showing their talents on the world stage in happier times next year.
