WOOF! IS BACK NEXT MONTH The fur is set to fly on 7 March at this years Woof! – The Auckland Rainbow Dog Show. Dogs of all shapes and sizes will be strutting down the catwalk/ dogwalk again, competing in categories like; Best Dressed, Dog & Owner Lookalike, Most Camp, and Most Butch - all in front of a panel of celebrity judges. This years judges will be ‘All Stars’, a bevy of judges from previous years. A first for Woof! as in the past, Woof! has never had the same judge more than once. Another first this year is the ability for entrants to enter early by scanning a QR code. Early bird entries go in the draw to win a prize from Nutrience Dog Food. Early registration will help speed up proceedings on the day. The paws hit the dogwalk at 2pm sharp with registrations on the day taking place between 1pm-1.30pm. Winners will be competing for certificates and prizes from Nutrience.

Woof! is an event created by the Auckland’s Rainbow Community but is for all Auckland’s dog lovers. Keep an eye out for one of the most popular categories ‘Wee Woofers’... basically the most adorable kids and their furry best friends. Woof! takes place in lower Western Park near the tennis courts at the end of Beresford Street West. There are refreshments and icecreams for sale so come along early and grab a spot in the shade (feel free to bring your own form of shade to help keep the furry ones cool) and enjoy all the cute K9 capers! Big thanks to our wonderful sponsors, Nutrience Dog Food and Barkley Manor for helping making Woof! New Zealand’s biggest Rainbow. PN www.facebook.com/WoofPride
