Ribbon Parade

Last month's ribbon parade conducted by the Nelson Kennel Club gave puppies in the district a chance to show themselves off for the first time, and owners the chance to assess the pups' worth. This parade is always strongly supported by younger dogs, and this year was no exception. Among the many dogs paraded was a four-months-old German Shepherd bitch, Tanya, who has an illustrious parent. Her sire was judged supreme champion of England at Crufts, the only German Shepherd ever to achieve this distinction. That's her at bottom right.
