So if you and your family have a dog or just fancy a fun day out then head to Queens Park. Last year there was over 450 proud competitors! There was everything that you would expect at a proper dog show – a Pedigree ring, fun ring and plenty of stalls offering everything that you could possibly think of related to dogs, including free micro-chipping sessions.
