North of England Cocker Spaniel Show

November 21, 2014 By Lois Dalton

Last weekend I entered my Cocker Spaniel into the “North of England Cocker Spaniel show” where he was placed 1st twice and then 3rd!

I was absolutely chuffed with him he was an absolute super star!

We were up against some top dogs but my boy shone through and was given the red ribbons.
I am so proud of him, hope his beautiful haircut I gave him the day before helped!
