Dog Show Competition Information
Be utterly charmed as our four-legged friends strut their stuff in front of judges, adoring family, friends and fellow pooches. Prizes in each competition will be awarded across three categories; “Best Behaved”, “Most Fetching” & “Wildest Wag”, with a special additional prize for those pets and owners who most resemble each other!
Many paws make light work!! If you don’t have a pet, worry not. In the true spirit of community those who do have a dog are encouraged to invite those who don’t to assist them in proudly parading their pawtastic pooches.
