First Release of 2010!

 

The release went really well! Laura, Erin, Kat and Libby, along with Andy and part of the staff came for the first release of our 2010 pups.

 

We all went out to Smugglers Cove on the Sunshine Coast and said our goodbyes and best wishes to our veteran member of this season:

Bob, Golden Ears, Blackstrap, Kerry, Paul, Sinai, and Beaufort.

 

All our combined effort led to this result, now we have 91 to go!
