We had a fantastic time on Bank Holiday Monday with the Guildford Lions at the Charity Fun Dog Show!
With the most entries so far making judging difficult for Jamie Crittall and our Mayor of Guildford, Councillor Nikki Nelson-Smith! It didn't rain and all the dogs were very well behaved with no squabbles or escapees!! Best of all, lots of money was raised for our local Guildford Charities!
