A very mucky Keith

Unfortunately, the weather was not kind to Keith show and those that had attended Turriff were soon experiencing deja vu. The sun did come out late afternoon but too late to stop the showground turning into a quagmire. Not so much dog showing as bog showing! However, everyone was in the same boat and all dogs ended up mud splattered as soon as they set paw in the ring.

The entry was down on previous years but the conditions obviously had an effect. Things actually went from bad to worse during the night, there was an absolute downpour and organisers were forced to cancel the second day of the agricultural show. Let's hope for better next year.

Brave (or is it foolhardy?) club members who turned out and squelched their way round the ring had some good results. Karen's Lily did the best by going RBIS, Morag's Arran had yet another Best Veteran, Joan's Bo won junior, June's Barney won the working class and Sue's Pansy won the toy class. Best in Show was won by the Irish setter for the second year running! Well done to everyone.

We are very grateful to our judge, Ann Layte, for stepping in at extremely short notice. Good job she brought her wellies.

We know Joan's Ruddi is a little overweight but her attempt to pass him off as a gundog was never going to work!
