The 26th contest of Champion Show Dogs will take place once more on Saturday, April 5th 2003.

This very popular event will again be held at London Heathrow at the Thistle Hotel - same venue, different name! As usual, guests can expect a wonderful evening and as well as the prestigious contest, there will be the famous tombola, sweepstakes and other entertainments followed by dancing to the early hours.

As Our Dogs has reported in the past, many thousands of pounds have been raised over the years and donated to worthy canine causes.

This year's beneficiaries will be:

1. Research into Canine epilepsy
2. Great Dane Adoption Society
3. Greyhound Rescue (Guildford)
4. Prevent Unwanted Pups
5. KC Charitable Trust
6. Sussex Pet Rescue

You can help! Sponsorship is how and in any form, either as gifts in the tombola, advertising in the Programme or buying tickets for the night.
