Last week I took a trip up to Newry to see what the "master" had in store for this coming season.
Id like to thank the whole Matthews Family for a lovely day and a warm welcome
Sadly the two main stud dogs were away being drawn......But strengh in depth ment I had plenty of others to see.
First on the list , of course had to be the ever friendly Bexhill Brian.........Dog of the Year

If all goes well with Brian we could be seeing him out again this new season
along with Walace Flyer
things just went astray for this fella at the end of last year

It certainly is John
And the hard work that goes in to keeping it that way is amazing.......grassing cutting alone is a full time job..
Every dog is in first class condition
