The Dog Show will again be organised and run under Kennel Club Licence. Whether you have a pedigree pooch or a loveable scruffy mutt; our Companion Dog Show, held under Kennel Club rules and regulations, is sure to include a class that’s perfect for your dog.
Please read our Dog Show competitor notes. If you have any questions about the Dog Show please contact Elizabeth Hale – details below.
Entries for all classes are taken on the day from 9.30am. Pedigree class judging will begin at 10.00am.
Once all pedigree classes have taken place there will be two ‘have a go’ scurry and scent training demonstrations by Top Drive Dog Training and Follow My Lead K9 Academy.
Novelty class judging will commence after the demonstrations have finished.
Please note that the organisers reserve the right to cancel any classes should the weather be deemed to be too hot and the welfare of participating dogs become a concern.

Dogs In Vehicles on Hot Days Show Schedule Notice
Your dog is vulnerable and at risk during hot weather and the Royal Kennel Club offers the following guidance to help guide you through the dos and don’ts travelling to and whilst at Royal Kennel Club licensed events.
• When travelling to a show please take a moment to consider whether the route to the show is on a busy holiday route and leave earlier to avoid increased time in traffic jams.
• If your vehicle is not air-conditioned seriously consider whether travelling to the show is a good idea at all.
• The vehicle should be as fully ventilated as possible, and plenty of stops should be taken, with lots of water available to drink.
• Ensure your dog is not sitting in full sunlight. There should be plenty of free-flowing air around the dog. • When at the show, never leave your dog in the vehicle.
• Keep the dog in the shade – take your own shade, for example a large umbrella and always have plenty of water available to drink so your dog stays well hydrated.
• Avoid your dog taking part in unnecessary exertion, or from standing in exposed sunlight for extended lengths of time. Remember, if you feel hot your dog is very likely to feel much hotter and dehydrated, and this could lead to dire results. Please look after your dog’s welfare. Warning: if your dog is found to be at risk, forcible entry to your vehicle may be necessary without liability for any damage caused. Anyone whose dog is entered at a Royal Kennel Club licensed event should take all reasonable steps to ensure the needs of their dog(s) are met and should not put a dog’s health and welfare at risk by any action, default, omission or otherwise. Breach of Royal Kennel Club Regulations in this respect may be referred to the General Committee for disciplinary action under Royal Kennel Club Regulations. Right to refuse entries. Exhibitors/competitors are reminded that show societies have the right under Royal Kennel Club Regulations to refuse any entry.
The Dog Show Judge’s decision is final.
