Last night we supported our local canine society with a trip to the Christmas Match Meeting.

Numbers were understandably down due to the current weather conditions - biting winds and black ice making driving conditions treacherous - but all the same there was a reasonable turnout and we were delighted when Blaze ended the evening as runner-up Dog of The Year under judge Mr John Evans.

Blaze is pictured below proudly showing off his posh rosettes!
