This year's theme is ‘Game of Bones’ where dog owners are encouraged to dress their dogs up in ‘Game of Thrones’ inspired costumes for the much anticipated Best Dressed Pet competition, being held at 12.30pm. Dog owners will also be provided with important information and advice about ensuring their dog’s property or kingdom is secure.
Every dog will win a prize. There will be doggie races in the morning and afternoon for little dogs, big dogs, slow dogs and experienced dogs. There will be many other prizes for competitions such as best trick, biggest catch, best collar / leash, cutest puppy, best bitza and dog/owner look alike. It will be a gold coin donation to enter the competitions and this money will be donated to Team Dog.
The event will be presented by Kaye and Brian from VETtalkTV.com plus demonstrations from renowned dog trainer Steve Austin, animal behaviourist Dr Jo Righetti, NSW Siberian Express and Australian Sleddog Sports Association. The Northern Suburbs Dog Training Club will also be on hand to introduce their club and will also be demonstrating some fantastic dog sports including agility, marching to music and dancing with dogs.
