Benson beats them all at Dingwall

Highland Canine Association held their second show of the year at Dingwall mart last Saturday.

The weather was very good, allowing uninterrupted judging in the outdoor rings and a chance to admire the lovely scenery. The sun became quite strong in the afternoon, especially by the time it came to Best in Show. June's Benson seemed to take it all in his stride though, he put in a good performance to win his class, the working group and then top it off with another BIS! Congratulations!

Well done all the winners and as ever, please let me know if I've missed anyone. Thanks to Morag and Jenny for sending in photos.

UTILITY

I missed most of the utility group but, apart from Logie, who won another Import Register class, I think the only win was for Linda and Ron's Denzil who was Best Utility Puppy.

Logie - Best Import Register

WORKING

Joanne's Walter won his NSC class, as did Donna's River who went on to take Best AVNSC Working.
