(Church Knowle)

🗓️ Sunday 4th August 2024

Calling all Dorset dogs (and holidaying hounds!) – the Margaret Green Rescue Centre summer Country Dog Show is back.

Humans and their furry friends are invited to take part in a range of fun classes – the top five in each one will win a coveted rosette.

  • Dog at MGARC dog show
  • Entrance to the Church Knowle Rehoming & Visitor Centre

Classes

Classes include Waggiest Tail, Most Appealing Eyes, Prettiest Girl & Most Handsome Boy, Golden Oldie, and Dog the Judge Would Most Like to Take Home (don’t worry – they won’t!)

Classes are separated into a male and a female ring, with the exception of Best Child Handler, in which any dog can enter.

Gates open at 11am, with the first class commencing at 11.30am. The day ends at 6pm.
