We always have a soft spot for this local Open Show, not only  for its festive seasonal atmosphere but also because it was the first ever show we attended as novice exhibitors in 1979 with our first Bearded Collie "Razzle" (Rayre's Rhapsody-in-Blue). A red rosette and a few kind words from famous all-rounder judge, the late Mr Bobby James, set us off on a hobby which has now become a way of life!

Today it was Liz's turn to judge, taking on the Pastoral Breeds.

Pictured below at the close of judging are the Pastoral Group winnners.  Best in Group the Bearded Collie and Best Puppy in Group the Samoyed, which we were delighted to see go on to Reserve Best Puppy in Show.
