The Ladies Kennel Association Championship Show at Stafford showground was on Friday 13th our judge Janet Cutler had an entry of 21 with 6 absentees on the day. Mrs C and Mr J Mclure’s Kanukalos Burletta gained another Best of Breed, Best Bitch and Best Veteran, Reserve Best Bitch was Mrs E and Mr J Sharpe’s Pines Cluedo. Best Dog was Mrs B Werner-Dellar’s Hightimbers Ticket To Rock, with Reserve Best Dog and Best Puppy going to Mrs C and Mr J Mclure’s Pines Mansion at Kanukalos. Special Beginner was awarded to Mrs S Johnson’s Pines Bridge. It was a long day as we were scheduled to be last in the ring, a thank you to the LKA organisers who moved the Portuguese Water Dogs to a different ring which was free so we followed the Australian Shepherds otherwise we would have been judged even later! Even so just as our judging was finished the Pastoral Group was being called to the Best In Show Ring.
