Agility Handlers

Steven Richardson

How the story began…

Steven has been competing in Agility for 18 years. He became involved in the sport because his dad used to compete and all his family are passionate about dogs.

Steven owns 4 dogs (mostly ‘rescues’ or ‘rehomes’):

Libby – Patterdale x Collie

Digit – Sheltie x Collie

Teddy – Poodle x Cairn Terrier

... and his newest addition, “the beautiful Future” – Border Collie

Steven’s long list of fantastic successes include:

* Winning 21 Championship tickets with Libby

* Winning 4 other Champ tickets with different dogs (now retired)

* Representing Team GB at the European Open

* Representing Team England at the WAOs

* Competing at Crufts, winning the British Open (2014) and Medium Team Event (2014)and gaining Reserve in the Championship and 2nd place in the Crufts singles

* Competing at Olympia, and taking 2nd place in 2011 with Libby

When not competing?

Steven teaches agility, life skills for puppies and young dogs and agility foundation classes

“All of my dogs have done brilliantly on CSJ, it provides them with an excellent sustained energy source to compete and fulfil their potential. They also love the complementary CSJ products, Gnaw Rolls and the Training tips are the perfect reward when clicker training.” Steven Richardson

Customers' Views

Emma Sunderland (and Kes and Pep)

You may remember earlier this year you provided me with some advice regarding my agility dog. I asked about adding that little bit of extra stamina and you advised adding some CP Xtra. I have been trying this over the months since and I do feel it has made an improvement. I wouldn't say it is a dramatic change but I feel happier knowing I am giving him that bit more energy.

We have also changed one of our working collies on the farm onto CP24 and Xtra. He is the litter brother to my collie and we felt he was needing more energy and stamina for working. He has never been a speedy eater, he used to graze when he felt like eating. However, since changing to CSJ he has dramatically changed his appetite - he now sits and waits for his food and eats it all in one go rather than grazing. We feel he has better stamina and keeps his weight up better (he used to yo-yo a lot and go quite thin at times on other food).

So basically, an all-round thumbs-up for CSJ!! The dogs obviously like it and I feel better knowing I am giving a good quality food with good meat content and no crappy ingredients!!
