On Saturday the 19th of August, Coquet Vets will be hosting the Warkworth dog show at Warkworth Show. There will be lots of great things to get involved in at this year’s Warkworth Show, including an all-day photobooth, an Agility Race, Terrier Racing, and Dog Classes.

The Agility Race

This will be an agility course with different obstacles running side by side so the dogs can compete against each other. The course will be the same obstacles to make it fair. Anyone can enter their dog for the ‘Agility Race’.

Between 10am and 11am, there will be a chance to practice to see if your dog is able to do the obstacle course. Then, at 11.10am, it will be competition time. Each dog will be timed doing the agility course, and the quickest time will win. The winners will then compete against each other until we have found the ultimate winner.

Terrier Racing

We will also have Terrier Racing (all breeds). This will start at approximately 12.30pm and will be held down at the moat. We will have different breed categories, such as smaller breeds, medium breeds, and then large breeds. The quickest from each of these classes will be put into one race to find the ultimate winner.

Dog Classes

Dog Classes will be held from 1.30pm, and then run every 20 minutes as follows:

• 1.30pm: Best young dog under 1 year

• 1.50pm: Golden oldie over 7 years

• 2.10pm: Best Talent

• 2.30pm: Best Rescue

• 2.50pm: The dog that judges would most like to take home

The Agility Race and Terrier Racing are £1 entry. The Dog Classes will cost £2 per dog. All proceeds will go to the charity, SHAK - Safe Homes and Kindness.

The Warkworth Show is on Saturday 19th August 2023, so save the date in your diary, and we look forward to seeing you there!
