Hi Kathy, I took Bud to Alfreton show on 16th he was in Junior as no puupy class and he got 4th out of seven all present and his is only 6.5 months old so I was pleased. Had him entered at WKC but couldn't go sat the last minute and there was only 1 other in MPD so may of qualified him there!!!!!!!!!!
