Got a very well behaved pooch or think your dog is super cute?
If so, the Canine Capers Novelty Dog Show at this year’s Chill Out festival in Gloucester could be just the ticket.
A festival favourite, the 2016 show will be bigger and better than ever, with nine show categories, including smallest and largest dog, most unusual and most appealing dog and top under 12 year old dog-handler.
Canine contestants will also be assessed on their dress-sense, obedience, grooming and agility.
Organisers say the event is designed for a bit of light-hearted fun.
“It's for people who enjoy their animals and coming out and having a good time," said festival spokesperson, Mel Williams.
Mel hopes the show will attract canines from across the region, including those that just happen to be nearby on the day.
"Dogs are social creatures and they like to get out and about," Mel said.
Competitors are registered on the day; entry costs $2 per class or $5 for all classes.
The Canine Capers Novelty Dog Show will take place at the competition ring at the corner of Denison Street and Billabong Lane.
Entrants and their handlers are requested to meet at 11am on Saturday.
Spectators should also plan to be there early, to take up a prime viewing position and enjoy the fun.
