On Saturday 31st July NWESSR was fortunate enough to be offered a stand at the prestigious Royal Cheshire County Show 2021. Once we got the gazebo set up, not helped by the very high winds early in the morning, we had a very successful day!

While the event was a little pared down compared to previous years, we had a fantastic day chatting to fellow Springer lovers and raising our charity’s profile. The highlight of the day was definitely seeing our rehomed dogs who attended with their families. Ruby, Max, Ollie, Suzy, Buster and Maja are all so clearly loved and are so bonded with their people. It was also fantastic to see Jet, our guest of honour, who attended along with our trainer, Anthony. Despite it being a very busy environment Jet retained a laser like focus on Anthony at all times, showing that, given time to build up trust with the right owner he will be a fantastic walking companion. We met so many lovely families during the day and, more importantly, lots of lovely dogs stopped by for refreshments as we had plentiful stocks of treats and water bowls. Cheshire Life Magazine kindly stopped by and have taken some photos of our gorgeous dogs so look out for some familiar faces in issues to come.

Thanks to everyone who attended and supported us in whatever capacity; NWESSR would be nothing without its supporters, volunteers and of course our gorgeous Springers.
