A five-year-old girl and her puppy have taken home several awards from their first competition.

Ford Park in Ulverston celebrated ten years of Apple Day this weekend with its first-ever dog show and the return of the Bake Off.

It was the first time either of them had attended a dog show, yet they came away with two wins.

Blake’s mum Ashleigh Prior said all the puppies and their owners lined up and waited for the judges.

They asked Blake a couple of questions and then she had to show that Coby could sit on command and walk nicely alongside her.

Ashleigh said: “She loved it. She was really surprised to win and very happy. She’s really chuffed, bless her.

“I’m very proud of her. She was really confident which is nice to see. She loves the dogs so much.

“Ford Park put on a really good event which was well organised and a nice day out.

“Blake will definitely want to take Coby again next year and will want to win again."

The family had the ‘best’ day and Blake was so proud of her achievement that she took her winning rosettes to school.

She could not wait to share the news at Show and Tell with classmates at St Mary’s Catholic Primary School in Ulverston.
