A Goldie makes steady progress on the dogwalk

An exciting new venture for Thame Country Show 2003 is the Dogszone, a dedicated area solely for man's best friend with its own arena for displays and demonstrations.

Just some of the action packed activities and demonstrations by professionally trained dogs will include Agility, Flyball, Cleverdogs, Canine Freestyle, Heelwork to Music and Gun Dog Classes.

For the family pet there will be a Companion Dog Show, for breeds and crossbreeds in aid of Greyhounds in Need. There are 24 classes each day, with entries from 10.30am and judging from 1.30pm.

Also at the show there are the ever popular Dogstable Course (an obstacle course for dogs and their owners), Fun Scurries and Dogit, where dogs can learn to carry out tricks, jumps and games under professional supervision.

And if that's still not enough to see and do there will be trade, charity and canine related stands just for the dog owner as well as all the attractions of a large country show.
