Dog show at Normand Park

Monday June 7, 2010

Canine lovers from across the borough are invited to the annual Normand Park Dog Show later this month.

So whether you are keen on King Charles Spaniels, love Labradors or simply adore Alsatians, then Normand Park in Fulham really is the place to be on Saturday June 26.

The event aims to promote responsible dog ownership and special guest on the day will be Rob Alleyne, the star of BBC’s Dog Borstal.

Last year's show was the first of its kind and saw over 200 dogs and their owners attend.

Cllr Greg Smith, cabinet member for residents services said: “The Normand Park Dog Show promises to be a great day. But while it is bound to be fun it does carry a very serious message – and that is to look after your dog. There will be plenty of advice on responsible dog ownership available on the day so I urge as many dog lovers and owners to attend.”

The show will feature numerous categories, from cutest puppy to best trick and best in show. And with entry to show classes free of charge there really is no reason not to take part.

There will also be mobile dog grooming, a mobile vet clinic, information and advice on first aid for your dog free, microchipping for the first 25 dogs and much more.

The show takes place at Normand Park on Saturday June 26 from 11.00am to 3.30pm. You can register your dog in advance at www.friendsofnormandpark.co.uk (opens new window) or by calling 020 7381 4196. Alternatively, visit the park office. Registration on the day will commence at 11am.
