Rescue fun day: for all dogs, any breed

Blood Hound Rescue UK has invited everyone to a social event day, where we can all meet each other, our bloodhounds and all other dogs. We held it at Carol Rowland’s home, Hawarden Happy Hounds Doggy Day Care, Rake Lane, Hawarden, Flintshire CH5 3PN, just outside Chester.

There was wet weather accommodation, a fully fenced and safe paddock, a fun dog show, and time to sit and chat. The day included lots of fun classes, pedigree classes, trophies, rosettes and on-the-spot prizes, special prizes for puppies and veterans, lunches, a tombola and a shop.

The classes

• Pedigree, any breed: puppy (up to one year), junior (one to two years), adult (two to six years) and veteran (seven years and over)
• Non-pedigree, any breed: the same four age classes
• Novelty, any breed: most appealing eyes, waggiest tail, handsomest dog, prettiest bitch, most unlikely pair, most like its owner, and the dog the judge would most like to take home

Rosettes went to first to sixth place, with trophies and special rosettes for best in show and reserve best in show, for pedigree and non-pedigree, and for best veteran and best puppy.
