Jada started Canicross when she was 11 and says,
“We went along to watch the first cani-fit experience. I loved it so much that I spent all my pocket money that day and bought full kit to run with Zuka!”
Jada’s dogs…
Jada has 3 dogs:
V 6 year old Labradoodle – Zuka
V 5 year old Alaskan Malamute – Zorik
V 22 month old Scandinavian hound – Fuzzy
Cani-Fit
Zorik was still only a puppy when Jada started classes with Cani-Fit and has been there ever since.
The biggest success…
Jada’s most memorable success was competing in the IFSS European Championships at Thetford Forest November 2016.
She and Fuzzy had only been training together for 4 months and Fuzzy was still very new to the sport at the age of 16 months.
They came home with the silver medal that weekend in the junior female age 14–18 category and Jada was so delighted with what they had achieved.
Jada remembers lots more successes…

Junior Sports Personality of the Year nomination…
Jada was nominated for the East Kilbride Junior Sports Personality of the Year awards for achievements in 2016 in Canicross.
This was a major achievement and she says,
“It was great to be in among the main stream sports such as athletics, cycling and football. I received a certificate of merit from the sports council for my contribution to my sport.”
“We feed all our dogs CSJ and use salmon oil as well. The dogs love it, it keeps their coats looking great and helps keep them in great physical condition all year round.”
