The Oxford Canal Festival team announce their Dog Show is back by popular demand.
The Dog Show will take place on the Festival date on 17 September.
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 show.
A spokesperson for the event said: “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. “
Organisers say 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 is necessary for entrants, and the judges will be on the lookout for personality as well as looks and obedience.
The dog-friendly Festival takes place alongside the Oxford Canal Festival’s other events including live music, storytelling, talks, walks, and an evening concert on Sunday 9 September – all with a Canalside theme.
The festival’s previous dog shows are said to 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.
