Dog Show.

Welcome to the inaugural Fife Greyhound Rescue dog show that will take place indoors on Sunday the 1st June at Caldwell's farm near Collessie in Fife. The organisers hope that this family friendly event well help raise awareness of the plight of greyhounds in a relaxed atmosphere and allow people not only the opportunity to talk about their dogs but show them as well. Although the show will have a predominantly greyhound slant to it, some classes will be open to other breeds as well. If you do not have a dog then this is the ideal opportunity to come along and see these majestic dogs “strut” their stuff and learn more about them and expel many of the myths.

Prices

Entry to this whole day event costs only £3 with accompanying kids going free (16 and under). Although people can pay on the day, buying an advanced ticket will give you entry to our free prize draw, which will take place just before the final. These tickets can be purchased at any of the Fife greyhound dog walks or from Jimmy/Celia and others in the Fife area (look out for the posters).
On the day entry to each class will cost £1 per dog (payable on entry to the ring) with the exception of “best family of dogs” which costs £1.50 for 2 or more dogs (any breed) and the final which is free.

Show will take place indoors in a sandy horse-riding arena. There are car parking and toilet facilities. We also have the use of the adjacent field for anybody wanting to walk their dogs during the day. As it is a working farm owners are asked to be in control of their dogs at all times and clean up any mess they may make. We will also have hot/cold drinks, sandwiches, crisps and confectionery for sale. Merchandise, home baking and tombola stands will also be available on the day.

Directions

Watch out for the greyhound signs.
