Sexton's Cottage tells tails of King's dogs

Have you ever heard tell of Sandringham Scion, Sandringham Scurry or Sandringham Sparkle? We’ve just found them in the Sexton's Cottage. Well .. while getting the cottage ready for Kilmood Flower Festival we came across a Belfast Telegraph from 1937 which tells the 'tails' of the King's dogs. They were the late King George V's dogs and in Nov 1937 they arrived on the Heysham Ferry in Belfast the stars of the RUAS dog show at the King's Hall. Hope you like the pic of the three celebrity pooches!
