There are expected to be around 6,000 dogs taking part, which makes it one of the largest events of its type in the UK. Judging of the pedigree dogs in the competition is based on a number of factors, as they all compete for the “Best in the Show” prize. Owners need to prove that their pets are happy and healthy, fit, with a pleasant temperament and be an outstanding example of their breed.
The rare native breeds from Ireland and Britain that are competing will include the Irish, Kerry blue terrier, the Deerhound from Scotland, the Sealyham Terrier from Wales and the Sussex Spaniel from England. As well as being an observance of man’s best friend, visitors to the Dog show will be able to browse the many trade stands, dedicated to all things for dogs and to discover more about showing their own pets.
