OPEN DOG SHOW

This year, will be the 85th Annual Dog Show held under the banner of Barrowford Agricultural Show.

The show is organised by Ginnette Simpson and a small committee of canine enthusiasts who are keen to run a family show which people enjoy and want to come back to year after year. We generally have around 250 to 300 dogs entered, many of which enter several classes and regularly we have an entry of 500 or more.

The show will be 148 Class Unbenched Open Show and will be held under Kennel Club Rules. All entries must be received by Saturday August 5th and all dogs must be Kennel Club registered and over the age of six months.

In the Breed Classes, a best of Breed and Best Puppy will be declared which entitles the winners to go forward into the Best in Show Competition, providing they remain unbeaten. In the Variety Classes, all dogs which remain unbeaten are eligible to enter for the best in show competition.

This year the best in Show judge will be Mr A. Rostron. He will judge the Variety Classes and will then select his Best in Show, Reserve Best in Show, Best Puppy and Reserve Best in Show from all the dogs which have remained unbeaten.

After this judging has taken place, a Stakes Class will be held in honour of Jean Stopforth who served as the Secretary for many years and who was a well known figure in the dog world, both locally and throughout the country.
