A celebrity vet is to be the star judge of a family dog show being held in Harrogate town centre on Easter Saturday, 8th April.

Being staged by Harrogate BID on the piazza in front of Victoria Shopping Centre, Peter Wright, the star of the hit Channel 5 series, The Yorkshire Vet will have the challenging job of choosing the winning pooches and runners-up.

Categories on the day include best trick, dog that looks most like its owner, and a dog agility course, with others to be announced as the event draws closer.

As part of last year’s Platinum Jubilee Celebrations, Harrogate BID together with Destination Harrogate and Your Harrogate staged a series of events at its four-day ‘Jubilee Square’, with the most popular proving to be a dog show.

This year’s dog show, which starts at 10am is being held in conjunction with Victoria Shopping Centre, Posh Paws and Your Harrogate, with prizes on the day being kindly donated by Posh Paws for each winner.

The day will include six classes for participants to enter their furry friends into, as well as a have-a-go agility course and hay bale racing.

The classes are:
Handsomest Dog & Fanciest Female
Dog that looks most like its owner
Best Trick
Best Rescue
Best Junior Handler
Best in Show

Register on the day from 10am!

Please note registration will be on a first come first served basis, all dogs are to be kept on a lead during the have-a-go agility course and there will be a waiver in place for participants to sign when registering for classes, have-a-go agility course, bale racing or other activities.
