Willow won Open bitch, best bitch and best of breed today under special breed judge Mr Brian Taylor in very strong competition and 4th best in show under Mr Stephen Hollings – thus achieving her last point for her ShCM title

The two girls did me proud………………although not placed, Jenny was shortlisted to the last 7 in a huge undergraduate class (25 entries, 6 absent) but couldn’t get past the solids. Willow won 2nd in postgraduate and showed her socks off – left the rest standing!!!

Congratulations must go to the Canigou’s with Sh Ch Canigou Rocket Science winning dog cc and BOB while Sh Ch Canigou Storytime at Withiflor won the bitch cc – well done!
