Bree Cudmore from Colac and her dogs Slim and Blue blitzed the competition at the Deniliquin Show.
As well as doing well in the Deniliquin Yard Dog Association’s traditional events at the show, Cudmore and Blue claimed the top prize in the NSW 2023 State Yard Dog Championships held as part of the event.
All yard dog competitions were a hit with the crowds and entrants alike, and was a wonderful addition to the show on its return after some difficult and interrupted years.
