OUR DOGS MD Vince Hogan and Publisher David Cavill share a smile with Peter Purves.

OUR DOGS is delighted to welcome to our fantastic team of contributors the voice of Crufts on BBC TV, Mr Peter Purves.

Already well known in the world of dogs for his expert coverage of Crufts and his personal involvement in many things canine, Peter will be out and about at many shows and country fairs, agricultural shows and dog events up and down the country. Peter has appeared as a commentator in many event arenas, such as All About Dogs at Brentwood and the Royal Bath and West of England show.

Peter’s first column will include a report on the latest All About Dogs and also the Seven Seas/OUR DOGS Pick of the Litter final, where he was guest of honour.

Any news and views on pet dog ownership, companion dog shows and activities will be welcomed by Peter, who says: “I am delighted to be able to contribute on a regular basis to such a well known title. I attend numerous canine events throughout the year and look forward to meeting dog folk on my travels.”

Peter’s column, Purves Unleashed, will appear alongside our Off the Lead section which now recognises, as does the Kennel Club, that dog ownership is broad and fits into all areas of the community.
