Are you and your dog going to be in Cornwall in July? If so, make sure you don’t miss a very special event on Sunday, 31st July.
Lanivet K9Kapers, to be held at the Lanivet One for All Community Centre, Rectory Road, Lanivet, near Bodmin PL30 5HG, is a Kennel Club licensed companion dog show which also offers a host of have-a-go dog activities.
As well as gaining rosettes and perhaps winning prizes they will be able to have a go at agility, hoopers, gundog scurry and flyball, while their owners can shop at a variety of doggy trade stands and enjoy a pasty lunch, a cream tea and an ice cream.
There will also be opportunities to watch as Paw and Order and Bodmin Dog Training clubs’ display teams show the exceptional skills that can be learned by family pets through praise and reward training.
Lindy Margach, organiser of Lanivet K9Kapers, said: “We haven’t had a KC Licensed companion dog show since Covid. It seemed an ideal opportunity to get things moving again and create a fun day out for dogs and their owners.”
The event opens at 10am, with the first class for the dog show starting at 10.30am. Pedigree groups will compete from 2pm and the Best In Show title, which will draw entries from the first and second-placed dogs in the previous 12 classes, is expected to be judged at about 5.30pm.
The event is supported by some of the leading dog activity clubs in the Duchy. There will be catering available throughout the day and an exciting array of trade stands selling just about everything the modern dog may need.
Admission and car parking are free. Access via the main A389 through Lanivet.
