A DOG show was held in Llandudno earlier this month, the proceeds from which went towards buying frontline medical supplies to send to Ukraine.
“Mini Kruffs Dog Show” took place at West Shore, by the children's play area, on Sunday, August 25, despite stormy weather.
Categories at the show included best puppy under 12 months, most handsome dog, brightest eyes, fancy dress, dog most like its owner, and dog the judge would like to take home.

The overall first prize winner received “Teddy’s Trophy”, with more than £650 raised at the event, to be donated to supporting medical needs in war-torn Ukraine.
Sponsored by Mochdre Vets, the event also featured a raffle.
Helen Denning, a Ukrainian resident of Llandudno, said: “On behalf of Ukraine, we offer our sincere thanks to Cllr Carol Marubbi for organising the dog show in aid of Ukraine.
“Many thanks to everyone who came to support us, despite the horrendous storm.
“It was very challenging to hold the show, but Carol, her assistants, dog owners and dogs persevered and literately weathered the storm.
“There were a lot of people, with dogs and without, and everyone had fun.
“We are very grateful to Sarah of Mochdre Vets and her team; Jo, Sam and Caroline; for sponsoring, judging and providing generous raffle prizes and dog treats.
“Many thanks to Sue Hilliard, who made amazing bandanas and sunflowers for dogs in Ukrainian style.
“We are grateful to volunteers Jo and Linda for their help during the show and for lovely raffle prizes.
“Many thanks to everyone who was helping at the show and who supported us. We have raised £667.10 which will be spent on desperately-needed frontline medical supplies.”
