ONCE the vet had given the ‘all clear’, ensuring there was plenty of water available, the fun family dog show could commence.

The show received a strong number of entries in each category with a huge variety of breeds being represented.

Among the entrants was a stunning English Springer Spaniel. Pippa stole the judges hearts and took first place in the working dog section.

She was confidently shown by young Harry Baker, who was full of praise for his furry friend.

He said: “I’m quite happy, I didn’t expect that I would win but Pippa has been a very good girl.”

A wag from Pippa’s tail confirmed that she agreed with this assessment.

The judges had asked some tough questions in the ring, but it wasn’t anything Harry and Pippa couldn’t handle.

He said: “I had to talk about Pippa and how she retrieves pheasants.”

Harry’s father Robert added: “She is more like a member of the family than a working dog but we are very proud of both of them.

“Pippa is a show dog now!”
