Boy, 6, one of youngest competitors at Crufts, writes Bethan Shufflebotham

A SIX-YEAR-OLD boy is one of the youngest competitors at Crufts this year as he makes his debut at the world's greatest dog show after just five months of showing.

Jacob Kenwright was counting down the days to hit the minimum entry age requirement of six.

And he has now successfully qualified to compete on the famous green carpet, accompanied by four-year-old Jack Russell, Jemima.

Jacob, from Bolton, competed in the Jack Russell breed category, as well as the 6-11-year-old young handler competition, yesterday and Mum Leigh said he simply couldn't wait for his bow.
