| 15th March Tonight W.A. held "The Contest Of Winners" which is the "Blue Ribbon" event for the year in our State. To compete at this event is by invitation only. The top 32 dogs in W.A. from the 7 Groups compete. Dakota was invited for the 4th consecutive year and what a thrill for us for her to be crowned "Best Of Winners 2007", this gorgeous little bitch has now won it for the 2nd time, being crowned "Best Of Winners 2004 " . Dakota is the only bitch (all breeds) to have won this Contest more than once. No other Sheltie has ever won this event so we are very proud of this wonderful ambassador for the breed |
