There’s three new Northern Ireland top dogs taking the lead at this year’s Crufts competition...and they’re not the four-legged kind.
Meet Lisa Craig from Belfast, Ballinahinch native Daisy Mulcahy and Tomb’s Helen Boyde, the new managers of the Northern Ireland Crufts team, who have stepped into the spotlight following the departure of Michael McCartney after an impressive 34-year tenure.
An iconic figure in the world of dog training and competition, Michael (70) from Lisburn started the managers role in 1991 playing a pivotal role in preparing local dogs and their handlers for one of the biggest canine shows in the world.
However, for the first time this year, Michael is joining his wife Kate, Crufts obedience chief steward, in his new role as assistant chief steward – having made the difficult decision to step down from the Northern Ireland team manager position.
