HAVE A GO DOG SHOW

For a chance to qualify for a special competition at the world’s greatest dog show, Crufts, The Kennel Club, the organisation behind Crufts, is encouraging dogs and owners based in Malvern and the surrounding areas to ‘Have a Go’ competing with their dog at a Championship dog show.

A training session and competition for those that might like to try showing their dog will take place at 2pm on Sunday 7 June, at Three Counties Championship Dog Show, held at Three Counties Showground, near Malvern.

This is a great opportunity for pedigree dog owners to find out what it’s like to compete in the show ring, while also having the chance to qualify for a special place at the world’s greatest dog show, Crufts. Entries can be any RKC recognised breed, aged from 4 months if fully vaccinated, regardless of which groups are on at the Show.

The ‘Have a Go’ dog shows are being held across different regions in the UK in 2026 at various championship dog shows. The events are designed for people of any age and ability, with a pedigree dog, and are the ideal opportunity for owners to develop a new skill. Complete beginners, with no prior experience or knowledge of dog showing are welcome, with just interest and enthusiasm needed. All owners and their dogs can reap the rewards of the socialising experience, unite with other dog-lovers over shared interests and ambitions, and become part of a close-knit community.  Everyone taking part will be presented with a rosette and goody bags and the winner of the Show Class will be invited to compete in a final at Crufts ’27.

Helen Kerfoot, Chief Canine Officer, commented: “For those who have ever watched Crufts and wondered how their own canine companion could ever be crowned ‘Best in Show’, the ‘Have a Go’ dog shows could be the first step! The shows are energetic and fun-filled for everyone involved. It’s wonderful to watch newcomers discovering and learning the skills of dog showing in a laidback yet educational environment and is so inspiring. I have no doubt there could be further future Crufts stars in our midst in Malvern!”

There are 15 places available and the cost is £10 per dog and handler. For more information or an entry form, please contact: Christina Chapman on Facebook or email: christinachapman.bukris@gmail.com
