Chatsworth Country Fair 2011
Saturday 3rd & Sunday 4th September
Terrier Racing and Family Fun Dog Show
Situated under the House wall near the River
Organised by Adrian Francis and Ruth Harland
2.00 pm: CHATSWORTH FAMILY FUN DOG SHOW - Entries in the ring.
Ten different classes. Entries £1 per dog per class, and Rosettes to 6th place.
It would not be Chatsworth without the Family Fun Dog Show, a chance for the country fair visitor and their pet to become part of the action. As usual classes for the very young dogs to the fun dogs, from puppies to the best 6 legs, the handsomest dog, to the prettiest bitch, sporting dogs to the luckiest rescue dogs, not forgetting the familiar Chatsworth children’s class open to any child up to 12 yrs of age with any breed of dog. (Don’t worry if you have left your dog at home - we’ll find one for you). It will be a chance to take home a memento of your visit to Chatsworth Country Fair. Not quite the Crufts National Show, but maybe the Crufts of Derbyshire - who knows?
