Looking forward to this Sunday, i was never into shows ect, just hunting the dogs but attended the last few meets of last year at Dunsilly with the missus and kids and really enjoyed it. Friendly atmosphere and my youngest son got the puppy class win with his wee dog at the end of season show which he still talks about.His interest in hunting and his whippet went through the roof after that
