Best wishes to Annalese (German Short Haired Pointers) who came off the road and crashed into the bush on way to the Peak Hill show. Miraculously she has survived and is OK although her 4 x 4 was written off. Her two beautiful dogs that fled bush have been recovered. Annalese is one of the loveliest, friendly & smiley young ladies I have had the pleasure of meeting and our thoughts go to her at this difficult time.
