Attended this high profile calender event with the three youngsters:

– Manchela Paco Rabanne (Zorro) was launched at this show and won a creditable 3rd in Minor Puppy – he showed his heart out, couldn’t ask for more.

– Manchela Ramona (Ramona) won a 3rd and a 2nd in very strong classes – beginning to know what she is doing (or so she thinks)

– Manchela Tiger Tim JW (Timmy) exceeded all our expectations and won 1st in his puppy class, Best Puppy Dog and the ultimate award of BEST PUPPY IN SHOW – really love this young man

Our heartfelt thanks must go to the Judges; Dogs -Mr Michael Parkinson (Dillonpark), Bitches – Mr Duncan Craig (Alisma) and to all our friends for their support and kind messages.

Congratulations to all the winners

All the dogs showed so well and never put a foot wrong – we always take the best dogs home, whatever!!!
