Family Friendly Dog Show – North Oxford’s answer to Crufts
The most look-a-like dog and owner, most gracious golden oldie, the waggiest tail pup, or best biscuit catcher are amongst the categories for the Oxford Canal Festival’s very own Dog Show.
Make no bones about it, it isn’t just humans who enjoy the canal. Dogs are also part of towpath life – and now they have the chance to take centre stage, where the Dog Show promises to be one of the highlights of the Festival.
Fortunately, it’s not only the best-looking dogs which need apply. Canine C-listers are invited to strut their scruff in various different categories, including a best in show category. No experience necessary; the judges are on the lookout for personality as well as looks and obedience.
The dog-friendly Festival takes place on Saturday 17th September, with plenty of live music, storytelling, talks, walks and an evening concert on Sunday September 9 – all with a Canalside theme.
The festival’s previous dog shows have been hugely popular with dog-lovers of all ages, so anyone who wants to enter their dog for the chance of a winning a special rosette is advised to enter in good time.
