🗓️ Sunday 10th August 2025
Calling all Dorset dogs (and holidaying hounds!) – the annual Margaret Green Animal Rescue Centre’s 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.
- Timings: 11am – 4pm
- Entry (Adult): £6
- Entry (Children under 12): £2.50
Fun Dog Show
Classes in the dog show 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.
