Crufts 2019 saw over 28,000 dogs compete across four momentous days with Kathleen Roosens the breeder, handler and owner of Papillon Dylan the Villain (Ch. Planet Waves Forever Young Daydream Believers) taking home the coveted title of Best in Show.  

Dylan is an energetic and playful two year old dog who lives in Belgium with his owner Kathleen, who has been passionately breeding Papillons with her father Jan Roosens since she was a young girl. 

As a family, Kathleen and Jan are tirelessly dedicated to championing Papillons to breed the finest quality, healthy and happy dogs as part of the Roosens family in their loving home. 

Not only is Kathleen and Dylan’s success a historic and significant moment for her, it is also an honour for Wellness CORE; Dylan’s food of choice.  

As a premium high protein grain free nutrition, Wellness CORE helped fuel Dylan’s wellbeing, amazing coat and lean muscle condition enabling Wellness CORE to put its stamp on Crufts as the nutrition that fuels not only thousands of dogs around the world, but now also the Crufts’ Best in Show Champion.  

Winner Kathleen says: “Yesterday was a very long day at Crufts, but Wellness CORE kept Dylan going from the very early morning till after Best in Show!” 

As an Official Crufts Sponsor, Wellness CORE Managing Director Wim Petermans states: “We are so excited and thrilled to have Dylan the Villain and Kathleen take home Crufts Best in Show 2019. It’s testament to not only the hard work and care displayed by Kathleen in bringing her dog to the very peak of championship standard, but also to the quality of CORE and its unique balance which gives little Dylan the top condition he clearly demonstrated  in the competition.”
