FOUR dogs have been given extra doggie biscuits and special treats after scooping paws-full of awards at Crufts.

Gwent dog lover Janet Morris (pictured) won with a quartet of Chesapeake Bay Retrievers. Three of the dogs won first prizes and another won a third prize.

Three-year-old Wigglay won in the post-graduate class, his daughter Dodi, aged two, won in the open-bitch section and two-and-half-year-old Grace won best bitch and best of breed.

And five-year-old Chuck was third in the open-dog section of Sunday's show, which was held at the National Exhibition Centre in Birmingham.

Surrounded by her canine chums at her home at Goytre near Abergavenny, Mrs Morris said: "I am so pleased at winning awards at Crufts, it is such a prestigious show." This year's success is the latest in a string of wins at Crufts for Mrs Morris.

"My success at Crufts is due to a life-times of work with dogs," she smiled. "Anyone can win a one-off event but to keep winning first prizes is something else. I am so happy."

Crufts is normally held in March but it was postponed to May this year due to the foot-and-mouth crisis.
