Hot Stuff In Estoril


We told you that Our Dogs was popular in Europe! Top judges enjoy reading the columns of Our Dogs during a break on the final day.

HOT STUFF IN ESTORIL

Well the elements certainly did their best to disrupt this delightful show in the attractive town and coastline of Estoril.

Very high winds on the days preceding the show gave organisers a severe test of their management skills…one flying tent even managed to bend the park railings!

The show days were hot and breezy but clearly everyone enjoyed the laid back atmosphere and with a very well known International judging panel in place, the show was a great success.

OUR DOGS have now built up a great bond with the dog showing fraternity in Portugal and I was pleased to be able to help many people on the OUR DOGS stand. We look forward to visiting again, maybe Oporto in January.

Dortmund 2006 - Germany's biggest dog show

13-15 Ocober 2006 @ Dortmund - Germany

The “Verband für das deutsche Hundewesen (VDH)” (German Kennel Club) will be celebrating its centenary in the Westfalenhallen Dortmund with a special double, namely the “Bundessieger-Zuchtschau” and the “Jahrhundert-Siegerschau”.

12,000 dogs from 240 breeds will be presenting themselves to an international panel of judges. A further highlight awaiting visitors for the first time will be a show for horse lovers. All in all, more than 60,000 visitors are expected to attend the event at the Westfalenhallen.

Germany’s biggest dog show

The event begins on Friday with the Bundessieger-Zuchtschau. All 240 breeds will be judged on a single day. This will be followed on Saturday and Sunday by the Jahrhundert-Siegerschau. This international dog show will be at the centre of the VDH centenary celebrations with the title “Jahrhundertsieger “ being awarded only once.

Visitors on all three days will be able to enjoy some excellent entertainment offered by a variety show and supporting programme. In addition to the spectacular Frisbee show, the presentations will include exciting sports competitions, the explosives and drug-sniffing dogs of the Dortmund police as well as the grand finale under the heading “ Best in Show”.

And that’s not all: visitors can meet up with experts able to answer questions such as: Which dog suits me? How can I locate a good breeder? What are the needs of dogs and how can I best train them? Visitors and their dogs will be in a position to actively take part in the show at a number of locations. Various “join-in” activities, ranging from gratis health checks by vets to the Frisbee workshop, are a great attraction. Here a number of prominent dog trainers, such as the Canadian animal expert, Linda Tellington-Jones, and the animal psychologist, Martin Rütter, well known for the ARD-TV-programme “Ein Team für alle Felle” will be on hand to answer visitors’ questions.

Appropriate accessories are available at over 120 booths. Everything that makes a dog’s heart beat faster will be offered: from the bone to the blanket!
