Linhay Fundraiser Dog Show 2009

LINHAY DOG SHOW 2009

The sun shone again for the annual Linhay Veterinary Dog Show Charity Dog Show, held on Sunday 6th September at Dawlish Water.

There were well over 200 entries for the dog show classes ranging from the Dog the Judge would most like to take home, to the Best Rescue. Best in Show was won by Tom and Julie Brown’s extremely handsome dog “Bentley”.
Mike Shelston ran the gun dog scurry, with over 50 entries, and the winner of the class was Lucy Wright with Ace, and 8 yo Ross Stead with Emery was second. The Terrier Racing was quite a spectacle and was won by Emery Stead, with Mozzie Rew in second place. The agility competition was won by Mrs Susan Bell’s little Yorkie Teddy, who returned to top form after being treated at the Linhay Rehabilitation Centre after a back injury.

Thanks go to Eddie Meakin from the Devon and Cornwall Constabulary, and the Police and Search and Rescue Dogs, who put on an impressive display after the dog show with obedience and search and find displays.

Over £450 was raised for the Riding for the Disabled and thanks go to all the organizers and sponsors and judges Vet Patrick Ridge and nurse Helen of the event. Photos are available at http://www.ba-media.co.uk/.
