Here are the photo show results at last! I have decided to add a reply to this thread for each of the class winners so I can add the photos too. It saves everyone scrolling down each thread to see who won what. I have added some comments on why the winners were chosen, I hope they make interesting reading. I know everyone says this but it is 100% true here: All the entries were wonderful and many hours have been spent arguing and mind-changing over the results, it is nice to see so many happy, healthy pets and they all deserved a prize. Please see a separate thread for details of what to do if you won a first prize. Congratulations to all the winners! ;D

Dogs: Pups under 12 months We just couldn't resist the calendar quality photo of the Cavaliers at the fence, especially as one was waving at us!

Dogs: Happy Eaters One of my favourite classes to judge - what a greedy lot! The winner just captured our hearts, sitting so politely at the table sharing Nan's toast (or hoping too!). Second and third are just so funny, the dogs are obviously really enjoying their food! And fourth is amazing - I can't imagine how such peace is managed at feeding time! 1st Place: Megan - Wagtails 2nd Place: Zana - Whipsntails 3rd Place: Patsy - Marygiles 4th Place: The Zoo! - Jackysian And a special mention goes to the laziest eater!: Kizzy - Worm100

Dogs: Having Fun Our winner had to be the flying dogs - great photography! We also debated for ages over the class - the standard was so high! In the end second place had to go to the four way tug of war, third to the amazing rabbiting Cavalier, fourth to a dog who is not racist, fifth to the daredevil whippets and sixth to the waterbabies. However the guilty face and the racing Cavaliers definitely deserved a special mention! 1st Place: Jess & Lester - Leicslass 2nd Place: Cooper, Sidney, Riley & Arty - Jackysian 3rd Place: Poppy - Wagtails 4th Place: Roxy - Alibullie 5th Place: Kaya & Zana - Whipsntails 6th Place: Florrie & Charley - Florrie Specials: Lester - Leicslass and The Great Cavalier Race - Tommy, Daisy, Kayleigh & Lauren - Nicki
