At the Munster Circuit of dog shows beginning with the Hound Association of Ireland's Group Championship show in Navan, IWSOI member Alan Higgins took BOB (Best of Breed) with his dog Fionn of Cootehill who then went on to become 3rd Best in Show.
IWSOI President Anne O'Keeffe won Best Puppy in Show with her nine
months old male Calcara Horgan - (a lovely
puppy; we'll see much more of him in the next few years.)
