Who's that handsome agility dog on the cover of the Radio Times with Ben Fogle. Yes, it is Acecliffe Star Guy. There are four different covers, celebrating the stalwarts of Crufts over the past 57 years, so if you want to support the agility dog, chose the poodle in big. The location was in the old Sunbeam Talbot works in the showroom which had been converted to a studio - very posh compared to some that we go to. |
