Hounds for Heros

 Still not had time to write up properly the 1st Annual Dolyhir Bernese Mountain Dog treasure hunt, even less time to collate the photos from several cameras and from different dog owners (I didn't take as many as planned as I was a bit busy) but until I do get a chance to report in full I would just like to say a big thank you to all the Berner owners who turned out to support the event. There were at various times 18 or so Bernese Mountain Dogs here at HQ, plus a collie (one of our previous rescues) and a German Shepherd Dog.

 Most of the Berners here were related to this handsome chap, the Rockmeister, those that were not related were girlfriends (player!) and a lovely Great Swiss, who shares the ancestry of the Berner but is a short haired bigger version, same colouring, lovely temperament.

All the dogs and most of the owners completed the treasure hunt, the winners got a prizes supplied by our kind sponsors Wagg Dog Foods, so thanks to Dalton their dog for making that happen.

In all it was a very successful day, we raised a substantial amount for charity, the grand total is yet to be realised with other donations coming in. In all it was hard work but worth doing and we look forward to the next one same sort of time in 2013. More will follow on this blog, lots more pics of the day but meantime here is a big thank you to our sponsors and helpers on the day.
