The Open Show With 15 judges and classes for 42 different breeds, as well as variety classes open to more than one breed. Our shows are not judged on the group system.
We are also one of the few shows still offering prize money for main winners. The Dog Section is sponsored by Cobbydog, which enables us to give special prizes in most of the classes.
The Companion show is open to all dogs over the age of 6 months, pedigree and non-pedigree, crossbreeds and mongrels.
Fun classes can include: Rescue, Over 7 yrs, Waggiest Tail, Dog most like its owner, Most appealing eyes, Best condition, Children's handling, Best 6 legs, and lots of others.
With this type of show, all proceeds are donated to one or more local charities. In 2012 these will be: CLIC the charity for children with cancer, and Bleakholt Animal Sanctuary
The nominated charities for 2011 were Only Foals and Horses and the local branch of St John's Ambulance. In 2011, over £300 was raised, and our thanks go to Mr Bill Simpson, who has organised this successful event each year since we moved to the New Showground
