There was lots to enjoy at the 2025 Brightlingsea Dog Show, held alongside the Town Show on Bank Holiday Monday.
The weather was perfect, not too hot and although the entry was down on last year our judge Tony Cruse had plenty of work to do. With 14 classes and rosettes from 1st to 5th in all classes he had lots of choice.
A big entry for the ‘tall dogs’ class was won by Lizzie’s pale cream Lurcher. The dog the judge would like to take home has only one winner, and this time it was a local Pomeranian x Chihuahua called ‘Juno’ owned by Sophie.
The Visitor Stakes had an entry of 10, and the winner was ‘Jimmy’ a Greyhound from Basildon. The Local Stakes winner was Barry with ‘Ruby’ his Golden Retriever.
Best in Show and winner of the Tealby Shield was ‘Bee’ a local Labrador owned by Daisy and Laura. ‘Bee’ was also shown by one of her owners to win Best Junior Handler.
We are lucky to have a super large ring, and an appreciative audience sitting ring-side! Hilltop Kennels and Plumpton’s Park dog field were generous sponsors, and doggy biscuits were an extra treat this year.
And we would like to thank everyone who worked so hard to make the whole show a success!
