Sophie and Ella point to a winning future

Ella outshines 945 dogs at an Auckland dog show. Sophie Bishop's English pointer Ella won Reserve Best in Show at Auckland on the weekend, when beating 945 other dogs to the title. Sophie from Ngaere took two-year-old Ella to the Ladies Kennel Association Championship, and the second placing is the best she has ever got. "You have to get three best in show to be a grand champion," said Sophie who was delighted with her pet's win. The future is mapped, and Sophie is already training and grooming her grand champion.
