Owain goes to a show
Saturday 25th February saw Owain (Typica Kingfisher) competing at The Royal Welsh Showground, Builth Wells, in a competition called ‘Welsh Junior of the Year’. This is an invitation event for young dogs owned and living in Wales, that had won at least one Championship Show during the year.

64 dogs are drawn to compete in two groups, and are matched against each other in pairs, so 16 get knocked out in the first round, 8 in the second etc. until there is a group winner, who then ‘challenges’ the winner of the second group for the overall title  ‘Welsh Junior of the Year’
It was great fun, we didn’t win, but we did make it to the 4th round, or semi’s, a sort of joint 4th!
The eventual winner was a Japanese Chin - Ch. Sleepyhollow Caruso with Gwynsias JW, with a miniature daxi runner up,  I have never seen so many different breeds together in one place - most shows we go to are only for gundogs, or breed shows, so seeing an Irish Wolfhound ‘matched’ against a Corgi was most amusing,
