World of Dogs

Whether you are a dog owner or just a dog lover there is something for everyone!

Otterhounds
The first hounds used for hunting otters in the 13th century were probably based on the St. Hubert hound, the ancester of the modern bloodhound.
Dog and Sheep Show
As one of the most popular dog displays in the country, the Dog and Sheep Show team work extremely hard to educate the public about dog behaviour in a fun and enjoyable way for both the animals and owners. By using energy and body language, we show the audience how we control our sheep dogs at different stages of their training, while demonstrating simple techniques to help with common dog behaviour issues. The dogs and sheep live happily side by side at our home base. This closeness provides a natural protection against predators for the sheep.
Dog Agility
Get ready for four-legged fun in the Dog Agility Arena! Watch energetic dogs tackle jumps, tunnels, and weave poles, or even have a go yourself with your own canine companion. It’s fast, fun, and guaranteed to get tails wagging!
Gun Dog Scurries
We will be running a variety of events where dog owners can put their pets or working dogs to the test. For working dogs there are four Scurry disciplines as well as the prestigious Queen Anne Cup which will be run over the four scurry layouts and will be awarded to the dog with the fastest combined time over all four disciplines run back-to-back. The Cup will run over both days. The winner will receive the perpetual trophy and a rosette.
Clumber Spaniels
The Working Clumber spaniel society (WCSS) was established nearly 40 years ago the revive the working ability of one of the oldest breeds of spaniel. At the Cotswold show you will be able to meet our working Clumbers at our stand and talk to our enthusiastic members about this fantastic minority breed spaniel. We will also be presenting two gundog demos in the Apsley ring so you can see Clumbers in action.
