DESPITE broken weather lately, the sun shone yet again for the Grallagh Harriers Puppy Show. This is an annual event that friends, followers and especially hound enthusiasts eagerly look forward to as it is an opportunity to see a more compact type of Old English Hound that is ideal for crossing the Galway stone walls.

Nothing was overlooked, ample seating for the large number of guests with the showing ring tightly cropped grass and pristine white rails and a large marquee with a buffet of home-made refreshments expertly managed by Bernie Burke and her team.
