A CHEADLE couple are hoping to make it lucky 13 at the world's most famous dog show.
Bryan and Jo Hill have entered their pets at Crufts for each of the last dozen years.
The couple, of Hall Orchard, have won prizes for third and fourth place in the past with three Gordon setters.
And they’re heading to this year’s four-day competition with high hopes – and their fingers crossed.
Three-year-old Indiana will take her place alongside some of the best dogs in the country in Sunday’s Gun Dog category at the NEC in Birmingham.
Mr Hill said: “We’re very much looking forward to the show.
“We’ve been preparing and grooming Indie for weeks and we’re hoping she has a big chance.
“We’ve had a third and fourth place in the past with our other Gordon setters, but this year might be our year.”
