Audrey Calder from Loch Lomond Shores said: "Our last Top Dog event of the year took place on Saturday and was as popular as ever, with 75 dogs and owners taking part in our competitions.

"The Best in Show winner was Nariko, a two year old Shiba Inu, with reserve being awarded to Amber the German Shepherd.

"I'd also like to thank those who make this event possible, including SHS Events, Labra-Cadabra, Lomond Radio, Debbie from Townhead Farm and judge Yvonne Dudds.

"Lastly, we'll look forward to welcoming everyone back for the next Top Dogs event in May 2025, and, in the meantime, remember that Loch Lomond Shores is dog friendly and welcomes owners and their dogs all year round."
