APRIL

Great day for the youngest members of the show team at Banbridge Ch Show. At only 7 months old Druimderg We Light the Way (Enzo) owned by Anna Dillon was Reserve Green Star Dog while his sister Druimderg Hear Me Roar (Asha) won Green Star Bitch under the well known UK judge Frank Kane.

Our dogs might be show dogs but they live full and active lives - Azizi who the week before was running around a ring is pictured here on the way to the top of Slieve Binnian.

Combined Canine Club International Championship Show Azizi Druimderg Keep Er Lit is Best of Breed under judge John Wauben (Netherlands) - she is almost 13 months old.
Enzo (Druimderg We Light the Way) was Best Puppy in Breed.
