A WOMAN from Launceston is ‘thrilled’ with her exhibition of Welsh Springer Spaniels at this year’s Crufts competition.

Sandra Blackford exhibited at Crufts on Sunday, which was gundog day. She said she was ‘thrilled’ to have been awarded fifth in an excellent limit class of 16 dogs with Amblelight Galetea — aka Will.

His young half brother, Amblelight Cassiopeia — aka Roly — was placed third in the puppy class. Roly’s owner, Mrs Margaret Mercer, was delighted and he is now qualified for Crufts 2019, as is his sister, Amblelight Ophelia, owned by Mr and Mrs Best.
