As we go to press OUR DOGS has learned of a great entry for the IKC show on St Patrick ’s Day. There will be 1725 dogs taking part, last year the entry was 1444.

This year a new dog food sponsor - in the shape of GAIN - has taken over from Royal Canin and all exhibitors will be given a voucher for 10 euro from the cost of a bag of food.

The show takes place on the Bank Holiday in Ireland at the IKC showground in Cloghran and OUR DOGS will again be there together with our representatives in Ireland.

Also, due to the large entry received by Mr Seamus Oates the Champion Stakes will now be judged by Miss M E Crowley.
