DO YOU OWN DORSET'S WAGGIEST TAIL?

Bringing your dog to the show? Of course you are – they'll have a great day out too!

This year sees the County Show’s first ever Fun Dog Show! Kindly organised by St Giles Animal Welfare, Starting from 11am both days, there will be a class for everybody’s four-legged friend to enter: do you own the loveliest lady, the waggiest tail, the best biscuit catcher, the most appealing eyes or the dog with the best talent?

And being an agri show, we know just how important the young handlers are – there’s a special Under 16s class for them to show off their winning handling skills.

And the dog-love doesn't stop there. Head to the Countryside Ring for the gundog demonstrations where internationally-recognised gundog trainer and breeder Nick Gregory will work his dogs to the whistle.

And of course, with plenty of stands dedicated to dogs and their needs (and love of snacks) there’s plenty of shopping for you and your doggo.

• We love to see dogs at the show, but they must be kept on short fixed leads at all times. They are restricted from some areas, like the Food Hall, and we politely request you always clean up after your dog. Please do not leave your dog in your vehicle.

Visit us on Stand J3, Avenue J and enjoy:

• Refreshments and cocktails

• Enter our ‘Barrow of booze’ competition to raise funds for the Dorset and Somerset Air Ambulance

• Colouring wall and bean bag toss for the kids
