North Tyne show pulls in 60 entries

THE North Tyne Hunt held a terrier show and hound trails at Whiteside, by kind permission of Mr and Mrs Grieve.

It was a successful evening in spite of the weather, with 60 terriers competing for champion terrier.

A good turnout of trail hounds ran three good trails.

People travelled from within the county and also Durham and Cumbria.

Champion terrier was a Border terrier dog called Dixie, owned by Geoff Sugars from Eglingham.

Reserve champion was a crossbred terrier dog called Mick, owned by Mr Owen Balding from Tarset.

Many thanks to all sponsors, and to neighbouring farmers over whose land the hound trails ran.
