by isleofman.com 12th March 2012

Dog exhibitors from the Isle of Man have had a good showing at this year's Cruft's.

An Australian Silky Terrier shown by Tanya Mackrell and Virginia Downty from Ballasalla won Best Puppy in her breed.

Marfick High Society was also named Best Junior Bitch.

A Bolognese shown by Mrs Dowty took Best Puppy and Best Junior Dog in the breed awards and there was Reserve Best Dog title for another Bolognese.

More than a dozen other canines taken to Cruft's by Manx owners were placed by breed judges, including Belgian Shepherd dogs, Silky Terriers, Shetland Sheep dogs, a Toy Poodle and a Boxer.

Douglas man Sam Fletcher’s dog Isla was named best puppy in the Pharaoh Hound class and best bitch puppy.

Sam was thrilled with the success.

A Manx contingent headed for Cruft's this weekend did not make the show, as a result of the breakdown of the Ben-my-Chree on Saturday.
