Dog show on both days — by popular demand

Dozens of pets are expected to enter the dog show classes being run, by popular demand, on both days of the show, Saturday June 23rd and Sunday June 24th, this year.

Entry will be on the day, from 10am, at the secretary's tent beside the Orchard Arena at the show ground in School Road, Hurst RG10 0DR.

Please register at least 15 minutes before the class starts.

Classes are £2.50 a dog. There are trophies, rosettes and great prizes to be won!

Hurst Show committee member Chantal Roberts said: "Doggy tails are definitely wagging faster and shiny noses are being held that bit higher in Hurst and the surrounding areas, at the prospect of this year's dog show.

"There was great support for the dog show last year. Owners have told us they, and their dogs, are keen to get back in the show ring this year.

"The show is aimed at family pets and for everyone to have fun. Many of the classes include trophies for the winners."

Dog show rules and regulations appear below.
