Fun Dog Show raised over £1,000

Competitive canines earned their rosettes to raise money for our Hospice.

The dog show was organised by Kirsty Wilson, a dog trainer and owner of Canine Capabilities and long-serving patron of our Hospice, Michelle Grainger owner Michelle’s flowers.

Dozens of pooches and their owners turned up to earn a prize for best in class at the charity Fun Dog Show.

Kirsty said: “Michelle and I hosted a Fun Dog Show for The Prince of Wales Hospice. It featured a have-a-go agility course, dog-themed stall holders, activities for children, hot food, a raffle and a tombola. We’ve raised just over £1000 for the hospice, which Michelle is a great supporter of.”

Entry was £3 per class with categories including ‘Handsome dog’, ‘Cutest puppy’ and ‘Best trick’. The final prize was awarded to the winners of ‘Best in Show’ and ‘Reserved best in show’ who received rosettes.

Adrian Greenwood, fundraising manager at the Hospice, said: “We would like to say a huge thank you to our patron, Michelle Grainger for her continued and amazing support. She always comes up with new and exciting events to bring the local community together and support our Hospice. Teaming up with Canine Capabilities, the dog show attracted many people throughout the community coming down with their furry friends and showing their support for the Hospice.”
