Well that the end of another show year. We have had a lot of fun and enough success to keep us still going! We have had numerous 1st's,  5 Best of Breeds, 2 Best Veterans in Show and a Best Vintage in Show, spread across our dogs.  Our star has to be Arran who started the year with a Best Vintage in Show and closed it with a Best Veteran in Show pretty good going at 11years old!
Our thanks to all the Judges and showing friends who thought well of our dogs and the lovely remarks we have had.
