Late in posting this 🤩

Thank you to everyone who has attended courses and classes the money was donated at the GSRS show and help raise this amazing amount 🐾🤩🐾

Our 2026 fun dog show total is here - This year we made a fantastic £10441 !!!

This is a wonderful amount and will go a long way to helping our kennel dogs, foster dogs and all the other GSDs we assist in other ways. As most of you already know we rely on donations and fundraising to support our dogs, covering the kennels fees, vet bills,food, training, neutering and equipment that our dogs need.

Our show is our biggest fundraiser of the the year.

We could not do it without al of you - our supporters, with out you and your dogs there would be no show.

The show is a labour of love for our small team who put it together each, it is a year round operation getting everything in place and seeing it come together and be a success makes its all worth while.

Today we would also like to thank so many other people who made the show possible:

*Our show team who work their socks off
*Our volunteers, friends and family who give up their day to set up and close down the event, run the stalls, show ring and have a go rings.
*To this years compere Brooke Lawrie who was the voice of our show this year.
*Our First aider John McCue
*To Simon and his team at K9 Manhunt & Scent Work Scotland for the demo (before the mic failed them)
*Hertitage vet for coming along as our vets on call and giving out advice
*All our class and ring Sponsors
*All the home bakers - we smashed the record amount on the baking this year!
*Our stall holders who have returned again and to all the new ones who joined us for the first time.
*To Salt n Peppa Catering - thanks for feeding everyone - You guys are the best!
*David from Canis Scotia for taking everyone's portraits this year - he will be busy editing them to perfection. Cant wait to see the finished photos
*And finally Ellie, Dave & Jay Harrison, Simon Chapman and Iain Butt our judges who definitely had the hardest job of the day.

I'm sure you will all agree it was a great day and an even greater result. THANKS TO EVERYONE

Second up learning corners was this gorgeous girl, she has a happy bounce when she is working, it makes you smile watching her learn.

She is so happy when the job is complete she wants everyone to give her belly rubs.

Great work girlie 🧡
