A clear blue sky and wall to wall sunshine made this such an enjoyable day for the dogs with a stiff breeze helping them seek out their dummies. There was plenty to see at lunchtime with produce and cake stalls and competitions for a really rural day. The final test exercise set on the fresh plough was quite a challenge for some of the dogs who had never run on it before. They all coped really well after their first surprise.
