A horde of
happy hounds
The Isle of Wight Foxhounds were blessed with
glorious sunshine at their annual puppy show at
the Kennels in Gatcombe on Saturday 30th June.
The kennels looked impeccable
and the hounds were shown by
Mr Keith Blaydes, the huntsman,
ably assisted by Mr Jack Kingswell.
At the puppy show, last
years puppies are judged on
their conformation. They are
judged initially to find the
best bitch and dog hound and
then the champion hound
is chosen from these two.
This year the champion
hound was Partridge, walked
by Mrs Anne Ely and the best
bitch was Pamper walked
by the Waghorn children.
After judging everyone was
treated to a scrumptious
tea of homemade
sandwiches and cakes.
The two judges this year were Mr
Stephen Coates and Mr George
Milton who are both experienced
Masters from mainland packs.
