RATHDOWNEY

 Working Members

Great first day to Rathdowneys meeting.........first class hares, well judged by  slipper Alan Kelly.  It was interesting to see that Alan  had covered his slips with sheepskin sleeve in order to minimise  dogs being pinched  under their belly.   You can see this from the photo below.

More pictures from Rathdowney can be seen here.....RATHDOWNEY PICTURES
