Yesterday I went to Gundog Society Of Wales Ch Show held at glorious Malvern, for the opinion of judge Gordan Haran. Luke in his last Junior class came 2nd after this he has to go in Limit really up with the big boys and much older ones, or if an age appropriate class yearling is available he will go in that! Ann his breeder said to me he looked stunning which meant a lot to me! Also in Lukes class was Ola's brother Ollie who has hardly been shown he came 4th in the class-his show name is C Come On Over to Hollysend. Luke came 4th in a very competitive junior stakes class the judge this time was Kath Gorman.

Ola won her Junior class!
