Match Nights

On the some Wednesdays through the year we hold a club Match Night.  At this night there is no training and dogs from the club are judged against each other in one of four classes where the judging is carried out by an external, but experienced judge. 
This is a relaxed introduction to the hobby of dog showing and will help both you and your dog get used to the experience in familiar surroundings.

The classes are:

Puppy Walk [1]For dogs that are 4 – 6 months
PuppyFor dogs between 4 and 12 months
AdultFor dogs between 1 and 7 years
VeteranFor dog 7 years and over
CC Winners [2]Dogs, which have won a Challenge Certificate or obtained any award that counts towards the
title of Champion under the rules of any governing body recognised by The Kennel Club
Best in MatchSelected from the winner of Puppy, Adult and Veteran
