Brian Gregory’s ‘Powenagrof’ breeding took the top 3 places, with Brian’s own bitch ‘Powenargrof Ffleur’ completing the test with maximum points. Dropping just 2 points to gain 2nd place Hayden Willmotts ‘Powenargrof Ffern’, after an extremely close ‘run off’ for 3rd and 4th place, Paul Hobbs ‘Powenargrof Finley’ just pipped Ann Hoddy’s beautiful Rosamul Montana.

Reserve placings also went to:

The first 4 placings will go forward to the Save the Children final and I’m sure all members will join with me in wishing them every success.
To all who competed or helped in any way with this event, thank you so much; it’s heart breaking when we see or hear dreadful scenes of child poverty or deprivation but at least we’ve tried in our small way to help ease the situation.
