This year’s event has the added twist of an optional ‘super hero’ fancy dress theme for the dog and owner. Dog show categories will include Best Super Hero, Best Biscuit Catcher, Best Haircut, Best Rescue, Waggiest Tail and Best in Show.

The G-Whizz Agility Course will also be available and agility trainer Sue Parry will be holding demonstrations from 12noon with the chance for you and your dog to take part in the 15 minute taster session.

A special prize – a photo shoot for you and your pet with Sue Milligan Photography – will be given to the person raising the most sponsorship for CancerCare.

Other activities include free micro-chipping for dogs from event sponsor Lanes Vets, animal cakes, a lucky dip, face painting, goody bags, colouring and much more. Animal Care from Lancaster will be doing a ‘Meet and Greet’ for rescue dogs that need rehoming and there will be a CancerCare raffle.
