WITH the puppy show season winding down, surely the best wine was kept until last with the Scarteen Puppy Show which was held at their kennels last Friday evening. A poor forecast did not deter a huge attendance who were treated to a smashing show of Scarteen young entry. Judges Tom Wallace of the Cork National and Padraic Behan, huntsman of the Limerick Harriers, had six couple of the famed Black and Tan hounds to adjudicate on.

Despite the long Covid-enforced interruption for hunting, huntsman Raymond O’Halloran had done a marvellous job in producing a young entry which was up with the best Scarteen has ever produced.
