We'd like to thank the families and their dogs who braved the weather on 11th May to take part in our fun dog show at Hollingworth Carnival. As some of the classes didn't receive any entries due to the downpour we could only hold 6 classes (plus Best in Show). Below are photos of our … Continue reading Hollingworth Carnival Fun Dog Show – 11.5.13
