Result: Reserve Best Channel Island Brace of 2007 (with McKenna) |
The braces had the judge scratching her head . . . |
. . . but the GSDs deservedly took Best Brace of the Year (we didn't mind - they
were Guernsey GSDs!) |

of which boasted three dogs, and what a magnificent sight they were!
Best Team in Show was the Torteval Irish Wolfhounds, so very alike and moving as one. |
