A special day today where our judges spent time with the NDNH, giving pointers and advice when all did not go according to plan. Some really promising dogs and handlers who will without a doubt, go on to greater things.
And as for the Veterans – quite delightful. There's something about watching the bond between an older dog and it's owner – quite warms the heart and I'm sure gave their handlers a day to remember.
