Interactive Puppy Show: A Superb Idea

wicklow puppy showRank these three hounds—green, pink, and yellow—to match the judges’ card, and you’re a winner!

Noel Mullins, a regular contributor to Foxhunting Life, recently judged the Wicklow Foxhounds (IRE) puppy show along with Scarteen huntsman Mark Ollard. After the pair had finished judging the puppy classes and chosen their Champion and Reserve foxhounds, a final class was held as a judging competition for the spectators.
