IT WAS another successful year for the popular King's Somborne Dog Show.

Despite intermittent rain, we had more than 60 dogs taking part, many entering several classes. Entries came from far and wide although most were local.

Judge, Jean Lanning, was kept busy all afternoon as there were many worthy dogs competing in both pedigree and novelty classes.

She awarded Best in Show to Brax, a White Swiss Shepherd, owned by Lyn and Mike Dennis from Camberley. First Reserve was Henry, a Bassett Hound owned by Richard Butler from Awbridge.
