Mansfield dog show returns to raise money for charity close to organiser’s heart

The annual dog show will be held at Racecourse Park, Mansfield, between 11am and 4pm on Saturday, August 20.

The event will include a range of stalls, with pet nutrition advice offered on-site.

Tombola and raffle prizes are up for grabs too.

Last year’s dog show raised £500 for prostate cancer.

Paul Savage, event organiser, said: "We have 15 fun classes ranging from best treat catcher, doggy fancy dress, cutest puppy, small and petite, and big and beautiful.

“I have had dogs for over 40 years and I also run a pet food business.

“A couple of years ago I thought that as fun dog shows are becoming more popular, why not stage one.

”All proceeds go to charity.

“It is a fun way to raise money. The dogs seem to really enjoy it.

”I have lost two relatives to cancer and dementia. The charities are close to my heart.”
