We returned to the Irish Circuit for our holiday this year. We stayed in a cottage near Sneem in the South West of the beautiful County Kerry. It was a bit remote but the dogs had a wonderful time exploring the garden and we had the most amazing views.

The Killarney Lakes

We were on holiday with Sharon and Jane and their dogs, Shadow, Maddy, Brook and Libby

Our cottage was at the very end of this windy road nestled in amongst the mountains

Our Cottage even had it's own stone circle. And stunning views.

We were surrounded by amazing views whichever way you looked.

This was the first time for Freya on the Irish Circuit.

Hope doing the show dog bit. We didn't take Hope to all 5 shows this year she only did 3 of them and she won her class each time. For the third consecutive time she was Best In Show at the All Ireland Golden Retriever Club Championship Show many thanks to the judge Mrs Lynn Kipps.

Shows are not the priority of this week but the dogs having fun is! So they spent their days off at the beach playing in the crystal clear water.
