A lovely day was had by all, Bubbles - Moulains Masterpiece takes 3rd in PGB **qualifying her for Crufts 2015** and Jessie - Millvosis Thats All For Tombear gets Reserve (4th) in Limit. Both were very strong classes with some fabulous dogs so i am very pleased with these results. The girls behaved perfectly and i could not have asked more from them, they also enjoyed the enormous amounts of fuss they received from the public not to mention all the sausage treats for being so good :-)
