Hound Association of Scotland Open show

What glorious sunshine we had today!

A lovely day was had by all I think at Hound Association of Scotland Open show. The Irish Wolfhound Club of Scotland had sponsored the classes, and suggested Mandy Addington, affix Wolvebrigg, as the judge.

Mandy made the long trek up from Essex to judge four classes of wolfhounds with an entry of 12. Three wolfhounds were sadly absent, but Mandy had some lovely hounds to go over. She found her Best of Breed in Steven Ritchie’s Thor, Broughadowey Raiden at Torrfionn. Best Puppy in breed was Alison Wiseman’s Dolly, Hazianne Partial Eclipse. Congratulations to IWCoS club members Steven and Alison 🙂

After judging was complete and everyone could relax (well, nearly everyone) we headed outside to put up chairs and roll out dog beds for a picnic in the sunshine (in Scotland, in October!!) while we waited to cheer Thor and Dolly on in BIS and BPIS.
