On Sunday 31st July, Beta Kennel hosted an event at Advanced K-9 Training Services Dog Park in Beausejour Gros Islet that featured local dog breeders and dog lovers in St Lucia.

Beta Kennel is owned by Ms. Amber Trezelle, a relative newcomer to the local scene with a passion for dogs and an advocate for proper breeding practices.

The family friendly event featured a wide range of local dog breeders and owners who were happy to include their pets for an afternoon of conversation, relaxation and valuable information.

On hand were the officials from Advanced K-9 training who were pleased to lend their support by providing the venue, as well as to showcase their training and obedience courses.

Given the popularity of pedigree and large dog breeds on the island, these trainers were instructive on what owners need to know about handling their pets.

Over the past few years local dog owners have invested significantly in animals as pets and in the areas of security. The trainers were on hand to discuss all aspects of handling and courses that they offer for training.

A short demonstration on obedience, presented an impressive result of a well trained animal working its way through the obstacle course as well as showcasing defensive and protective skills.

Ms. Treselle was extremely happy with the outcome and the support of her family and friends, who were on hand for the day with a park filled with dogs of every kind.

” I am really pleased that so many people turned out to support this event,we have a real passion for dogs and want all of our owners to have as much information as possible to keep their dogs safe and happy.”

The park seemed to have almost every kind and size of dog, from poodle breeds carried in straw baskets, to enormous stately Rottweilers that frowned at the large audience. Some breeders made short speeches and explained their business and promised responsible dedication to the industry.

Suppliers of products from dog food to animal toys were also on hand.

With the enthusiasm for new and exotic dog breeds becoming a growing interest in St Lucia this kind of event can only bode well for increased knowledge by owners and facilitate a healthy community of dog breeders in St Lucia.

Soca Rukshun made a debut this Crop Over season after a two-year festival hiatus. Although in this condensed version of the sweetest summer festival some of the traditional events were omitted, the National Cultural Foundation (NCF) ensured that creatives still had an avenue to showcase their craft with the introduction of a People’s Choice competition which was the lead-up to the show.

Those who successfully moved through the rounds were able to showcase their musical contribution on Sunday night at The Courtesy 98. 1 The One Soca Ruckshun which was held at the Kensington Oval.

Each of the 20 performers brought full energy to their presentations and the audience was vocal in their appreciation. Ultimately, the warmest reception was reserved for the final performer, Brucelee Almightee with his season favourite Mauby. Spectators went wild when he emerged on stage and was the icing on the cake to end that segment.

Hosted on the eve of Emancipation Day, it was a special moment when the Haynesville Youth Group and members of the Israel Lovel Foundation showed their combined skills on percussion in an impressive drum tribute called Iron Mass in recognition of the momentous occasion.

The show was taken to another level when the legendary band Krosfyah commenced their 45-minute set. Clearly glad to be back on stage they delivered a top-class performance. Their set included favourites like Sak Pase, and they even teased with a piece of Alison Hinds’ Bazodee. She too was among the list of top performers making guest appearances in this packed segment.

As the event culminated, the atmosphere was festive and Mikey and Nikita concluded with a dynamic performance of their collaboration Ready. They were joined by drummers and dancers bearing flags with the colourful “I Love Crop Over” logo. They moved from the stage onto the lawn area of the grounds creating a magnificent spectacle reminiscent crossing the stage at the National Stadium on Kadooment Day.

Attendees were treated to a number of giveaways throughout the night but Al Junior Payne was the biggest winner when he drove away the spanking new Hyundai Kona EV, compliments of Courtesy Garage.
