2019 UKC Premier

This year, we attended UKC Premier and entered Senka, Ghidora, and Gokkai. Everyone did a fantastic job but it was Senka who really stole the show. And, of course, it wouldn’t be a Premier if all the dogs didn’t blow coat right before!

The best part of the whole experience by far was meeting up with old friends and finding new friends!
