Had a brilliant day last Sunday 21st April at the Sporting Whippet Club NI first show of the year. This venue was first class , and all credit goes to Victor Mc Donald the Owner of Dunsilly for that. Although it was a little on the cold side ,the sun shone all day, with the exception of a few light showers. Whippet men and women, their families and dogs were there in large numbers , all just glad to see the summer on the horizon, and the show season started. Grading started at 12.00 noon, and there, the Sporting Whippet Club NI show season began.
