The Papillon (Butterfly Dog) Club held their Open Show at Papfest. A weekend of Papillon related activities for the show exhibitors and Agility enthusiasts. The club thanks Denise Welch for organising the agility. Competitors came as far away as Sussex and North Wales in addition to some local ones around the Newark area.

Irene and Glenn Robb’s Gleniren Who’s Your Daddy took Best AVNSC Toy Puppy and TPGP1 under Mrs M Cunningham (Verheyen) and then in a lovely quality BPIS Jenson put best paws forward to take a lovely BPIS under Barbara Cherry (Shanandi). Carolyn and I were absolutely delighted. Well done to Oswestry committee for putting on such a well run show and it was lovely to catch up with so many friendly faces.
Good luck to everyone taking their caravans or motor homes to Paignton, SOE Pap Club, Bournemouth and WKC. Fingers crossed the weather is kind and all of you doggy holiday makers have a brilliant time. Enjoy and have fun.
