Bark In The Park – All Breed Fun Dog Show

July 22, 2010 - PRLog -- Kent Greyhound Rescue’s first ever all breed dog show, “Bark in the Park”, was a resounding success raising much needed funds for the charity. Mayoress, Mrs Keren Belcourt , was there to open proceedings and showed great interest in KGR and the work they do, nearly being tempted to re-home a greyhound herself, (but not quite).  

All classes of this fun dog show were well attended with breeds varying from the largest Great Dane to the tiniest Chihuahua. The well deserved winner of Best in Show was Barney Rubble, a beautiful apricot Labradoodle from Dymchurch. There was also a variety of stalls and a funfair to occupy time between classes plus a very entertaining doggy dance demonstration by Capel Dog Training and the Salsa Tiempo dancers showed the crowd some hot Salsa moves.

Steve McCarthy, a KGR Trustee said, “I was very impressed with the turnout on the day and would like to express my sincere thanks to all who came and gave their support to the event and especially to the volunteers of KGR who gave up their spare time to help plan and run the show. I would also like to give special thanks to  Lynne Forbes and Del Hillda, our professional judges and groomers from “That Pet Shop” in New Romney. They did a sterling job in picking such deserving winners”. With the success of “Bark in the Park “ under their belt, KGR plan to hold an even bigger and better event next year so watch this space!
