Highland Open Show

Highland Canine Association held their open show at Dingwall auction mart on Saturday 28th July. This is a nice venue with great scenery, a good cafe and probably the biggest strawberry cream cakes around!

With space being limited, only two rings are indoors and the majority of breeds are judged outside. The rain held off for most of the day but there was one heavy, prolonged shower and judging was suspended until it was over. Pity the poor whippets who were caught out in it! They could have done with their coats then.

Club members had a very good day, most notably Joan and Bo who won his AVNSC class, then best AVNSC, followed by the group and then best in show! Good going for a youngster only just out of puppy. Congratulations!

Sue's Pansy won the toy group so there were two club members in the best in show line up.

Best puppy had a representative from the club as Lorna's Lottie was best terrier pup.

When it came to best veteran we did even better with three Spey Valley dogs present - Morag's Arran, June's Brodie and Sue's Louis.

Arran was also BOB and Pastoral G2, Heather's Sasha was BOB and Hound G3 and Sarah's Sasha was BOB and Terrier G3.

Linda and Ron's Leo did well in the utility group by winning his AVNSC junior class and Elizabeth's Bronni took BOB. Well done to everyone.
