The Kildare and West Wicklow Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (KWWSPCA) dog show Wag & Bone will return to the parade ring at Punchestown this Sunday 5th September.
Registration begins at 1 p.m. and judging begins at 2 p.m. There is plenty of free parking. The show is free, but there is an entry fee of €5 per class – €20 for five classes to enter a dog in a show.
All types of dogs are welcome, especially rescue dogs.
According to the organizers, it is indeed a ‘Fun Dog Show’ and they welcome families and their dogs. They do, however, ask you not to bring any puppies younger than nine months, as the show is not a suitable place for young puppies.
