Showground dogs lap up the limelight

THE fleecy, Old English Sheepdog from the Dulux ad caught the eye early but the spotlight soon moved away from her.

With more than 2000 dogs strutting around at the international show in Killarney, Co Kerry yesterday, the TV star, owned by Jackie Boohan, of Fedamore, Co Limerick, didn’t have all the spotlight to herself.

Four-legged friends, some with very short legs indeed, of every shape, size and hue, lapped up the attention, while being constantly groomed, patted and spoken to by their adoring owners.
