Please note:

Our dog shows are meant to be a fun day out for you and your pooch. However, this should never come at a risk to your pet. As the British weather can get very hot so we will be monitoring the temperatures and, unless we feel we can operate in a safe comfortable environment for your dogs, we may cancel this event at short notice. We urge you to read our guidance on taking dogs out in hot weather, which can be found here.
