A matter of days before Sunday I was offered a lift and a ticket to go to the Gundog day at Crufts! Not having been before it was very exciting and lived up to all expectations. I was with Vicky who is a breeder of Golden Retrievers and she was taking her youngest dog, Toby, who is three and a half years old. He attracted a lot of attention and won his class! That meant he went into the next round to choose the Golden Retriever to represent the breed in the Gundog Group. Sadly he didn't progress further, but he is the same breed of the dog which was chosen as Best in Show - and what a beautiful liver coloured flat coated Retriever he is. We met Toby's sister Lacie who is a Pat Therapy Dog and it really looked as though they recognised one another, and Lacie recognised Vicky.
