A day out with the dogs!

Today I took my cocker spaniel Pennie to a Dog and Horse Show and country fair at a local farm and produce shop in Preston called Huntley's, the event was called the  Mellor Dog School Country Fair. I went with my parents and boyfriend, and then we met up my friends Abi and Rob who also took their Border Collie Bella. Bella was so excited and hyper to be there and was so happy to see Pennie. We sometimes take them walks together so it was great to see them. 

The country fair had a few different stalls on but I think due to the bad, or rather miserable weather, not many people turned up for the event on the day. There were various dog shows  on and also some horse shows going on throughout the day. They also had different dog competitions on but we turned up late so we missed half the events but we still entered our two dogs into a couple of the events. We entered Pennie into the Best Condition and the Dog the Judge wanted to take home categories, and Pennie came second in the Best Condition competition, so proud of her! She came second to a puppy cocker spaniel who had just had his coat cut and groomed so she did really well! Bella took part in the happiest dog competition and also the dog the judge wanted to take home event, Bella won third in the happiest dog competition, which I'm surprised she didn't come first as she always has a huge grin on her face. 

We also watched some of the other dog shows and saw a police dog being trained, along with a gun dog retrieving items. I also went into the Huntley's produce farm shop and purchased far too many cheeses! Afterwards we also had a bit of a wander through their maze too which would be a great place to go to at Halloween or Bonfire night! Will definitely have to keep my eye out for events at Halloween. 

As great as the fair was it would have been great with more stalls and shows going on, especially with more animals. Also I think if the weather had been better then more people may have come to the event. Will definitely be going again next year to the fair, as it is a really lovely day out and a great chance to show off my amazing pooch!
