Judges for this show were: Mrs Penny Lester – Quettadene (Dogs) & Mrs Ann O’Keefe (Glenayden)

Timmy (Manchela Tiger Tim JW) wins 1st in Junior and Zorro (Manchela Paco Rabanne) wins 2nd and 4th in his puppy classes.

The star of the show was Ramona (Manchela Ramona) winning 1st in all her three classes, thus gaining the required remaining points for her Junior Warrant, but……………..also wins the Res cc. Thank you to the judge from Australia for thinking so highly of this precious girl.
