February 7th HEBDEN BRIDGE OPEN SHOW
The forecast of more snow held off so we set out along the frozen snow clad roads to the show, and so Seffy and Bella had a day out.
Seffy showed her heart out in CKCS P/Grad but she and Dorothy’s Rika were unlucky today
However in CKCS Open Bella was our little star gaining a creditable 3rd place among some very well known dogs
Well done Bella
