UK Dog Sport - Handlers & Dogs forward!
Wendy Beasley
May 2024
For personal reasons I will be handing over the ownership and control of UKDS to Sheila Smith as from 6th May 2024. In the initial stages this will make no difference to the sport which will continue in its current format for the foreseeable future. Even if Sheila does decide to make some changes further along the line, she has agreed to keep the basic concept and ethos of UKDS as it is now.
I have really enjoyed the beginning of this new sport and meeting you all both online and in person. It is you who have taken the sport from an idea to a reality, and I’m very proud of what we’ve achieved together, and I thank you for it.
For those of you who may not know Sheila she has been actively involved in UKDS through the Banbury Club for some time hosting several successful events and has a good knowledge of the sport. She also has some great ideas to take it forward and make it everything I always hoped it would be.
Although I’m handing over the control of UKDS I will still take an active interest and hopefully continue to compete, so I look forward to seeing many of you out and about at events.

I am pleased to be given the opportunity to run UK Dog Sport. Thank you Wendy.
The sport is growing in popularity and we are fortunate to have the support of many UKDS competitors and trainers helping to take it forward.
Further promotion of the sport should be encouraged by everyone who knows UKDS, especially when we meet new people. Hopefully by encouraging them to events, 'to come & see' UKDS will grow even more.
Please take some time and enjoy discovering all the information I've included on this website.
A feature which I hope everyone will embrace is the opportunity to become a UKDS member. This will enable us to record members' progress through the levels. Records will be kept up-to-date following results from competitions.
