The Hereford and District Driving Group decided to downsize the whole show in 2010, so although there was no Carriage Dog Class, two Dalmatians were made welcome and entered Concour d'Elegance. These were Merlot owned by Jane Friend and Cato a Dalmatian Welfare dog owned by Pat Dutson. Here they are with fellow drivers in front of the beautiful venue - Hampton Court - Herefordshire version! Thanks to the Hereford Club.

[edit] PAWS IN THE PARK, HOP FARM, KENT SEPTEMBER 2010

A big team of SE carriage dogs put on a display at this big canine extraganza.

The last display of the weekend was quite a challenge for the dogs, who were all wondering why we were going round and round the same field - yet again! Celia Gilbert's Poppy was not the only dog to leave her carriage for something more interesting. Here she decides to join Fenris behind Anne Dickens' cart.
