400 dogs entered for All Breed Championship Shows this weekend

The Orange and District Kennel and Obedience Club are gearing up to host some 400 dogs at their annual All Breed Championship Shows this weekend.

The three All Breed Championship Shows will be held at the Australian National Field Days site at Borenore over Saturday and Sunday, November 30 – December 1.

Show Secretary Tamara Pearson said they had received just shy of 400 entries for the 2024 show, and it looks like being a weekend packed full of competition.

“We have worked hard to present an outstanding show weekend for a wide cross-section of competitors,” Tamara said.

“Our show hosts a full confirmation showcase of all breeds along with baby puppy sweepstakes and fun prizes for Junior Handler events. We have fantastic prizes on offer across the whole weekend!

“This will be a dog show weekend not to be missed, thanks to our major sponsors

Plush Puppy and Al A Carte Pet Nutrition. There are some great event prizes to be

won also thanks to Pet Power Natural Therapies, The Wolf’s Den, Middle L Show

Dogs and our list of amazing sponsors and supporters.”

The Orange and District Kennel and Obedience Club have been forced to hold past All Breed Championship Shows at a number of different venues throughout the district in recent years, but they are hoping to lock in the Field Days site for future events.

The All Breed Championship Shows starts at 9am this Saturday and Tamara said all are invited to come and have a look. There will be a food and coffee truck at the site along with a number of stall holders.

“If you are interested in dog showing or want to come for a great family day out,

spectators are welcome,” she said.

The Orange and District Kennel and Obedience Club is affiliated with Dogs NSW -

an association that promotes the welfare of purebred dogs and responsible breeding.
