After staying at home for a while with the puppies Tina came back into the ring in full power!

On the day Vinnie came to visit his first ever show, Tina achieved her very first Group win in Ireland under judge Mr. Sean Knight. I was overwhelmed by congratulations and support from fellow exhibitors and will never forget this moment

During the year Tina won few more Group wins under well known judges Mervyn Webb, Imran Husain and Maureen Tate-Byrne and multiple Group placings!
