We are into the last few shows of the year now, and Midland Counties was our next show on the 28th October 2005 at Stafford Showground. We only took Sophie. What a great day we had and a big thanks to breed specialist Liz Dunhill for giving Sophie the Bitch Challenge Certificate (her first), Best Bitch and Best Puppy in Breed. She went on to win third in the Pro Plan Puppy Bitch Stakes in a class of over 50 exhibits. We believe that this makes Sophie the Top Winning Akita Puppy of 2005. Thanks to everyone for their applause and congratulations on the day.
