Dog Sports at the 2022 Brisbane Ekka

After a 2 year break, Dog Sports at the 2022 Ekka was once again a success and well attended by the public. The dogs excelled in their chosen discipline and thoroughly enjoyed the competition. Held across two venues Rally, Dances With Dogs (DWD) and Trick Dog took centre stage in the Dog Pavilion where 2 rings were used at the same time, displaying plenty of action for the public to watch from nearby stands. Trick Dog was introduced for the first time this year. This new venue, which also included Dog Conformation, proved very popular with both competitors and audiences alike. Obedience was held at Stockman’s Rest and was equally well received by competitors and those members of the public on hand to observe the skills of owners and dogs on display. After many years of competing on different days and different surfaces the Obedience was held on the first day giving the competitors the opportunity to trial on fresh grounds. The Agility competition was also held at Stockmans Rest and attracted a very large crowd. The competitors and Stewards enjoyed their events in the new venues and were able to show the public what we can do with our dogs.
