Eza Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 Many moons ago (over 10 years ago), I went to a big dog show in Adelaide. There were sports events, market stalls and people showing dogs (also breed information stands). Is there anything like that now?

Christina Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 The ordinary weekly dog shows are not like that at all the only one similar is the Royal Show at the Wayville show grounds. It is held every year at the beginning of September. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ness Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 They also use to have a dog show in conjunction with the Pet and Animal Expo at Wayville showgrounds. They have a few other expos - the dog side of things is not as big as it use to be now though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ness Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 Yep that would be the Animal and Lifestyle Expo at the showgrounds - normally held March/April ish - definitely not the same these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrs Rusty Bucket Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 Some councils host a big dog day out, usually the beach ones at the start of on lead season ie around the start of April. There's also the million paws walk with the RSPCA - usually a lot of stalls associated with that. and every now and again there is something that is hosted by a pet food company. The hard part is getting demo teams together and doing stuff - it's kind of like herding cats. One minute you have 20 stalls and then you have three and then 30 stalls and on the day - it all depends on the weather and whether stall holders are feeling up to it. I used to go to AWL re-unions but they fizzled out when the organisers stopped organising. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ness Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 (edited) Yep Eza - they no longer hold a dog show in conjunction with it. It is a bit of a waste of money - not a huge amount of dog stands and not especially exciting. I never get a chance to venture into the other pavilions mind you because I normally have a dog with me. Not sure if I will have a dog in the DWD demo this year. Been a little to slack with my baby dog LOL. Edited February 23, 2016 by ness Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Rusty Bucket Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 There's a big dog show in Melbourne. The wonder dogs usually do demos at it. Maybe they will bring that to Adelaide one day. But it would be hard to get all us catdog people pulling in the same direction. We have agility nationals at wirrina in May- that should have a lot of dogs and dog shops.

Eza Posted February 23, 2016 Author Share Posted February 23, 2016 Thank you for the replies, I'll see what I can find out. We don't go to Adelaide often so I'll have to find something when we are there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
