We were up with the lark this morning for our trip to Stafford and the National Dog Show, not the most restful way to start the weekend!

It was well worth making the effort though, as Blaze took first place in quite a strong Junior Dog class under breed specialist judge Brenda White (Moonhills).  Not to be outdone, and at only fourteen months very much the baby of the class, Cawley came back with a fourth place from his first foray into a Graduate class, receiving some very encouraging comments from the judge.
