Shows and Fun Days
DOG SHOWS AND FUN DAYS
There are All-Breed Dog Shows held most weekends in South Australia. The location most commonly used is David Roche Park in Kilburn, owned by Dogs SA. However, other places such as Gawler, Adelaide Hills, Monarto, Port Pirie and Mount Gambier among others are also used throughout the year. Only pedigree dogs are permittable to be shown and the owner has to be a Dogs SA member. There are different types of dog shows, the British Bulldog Club hosts one Championship Show and one Open Show annually.
Types of Dog Shows
A Championship Show is an exhibition for registered dogs at which best of breed and challenge certificates are awarded. A best of breed and challenge certificate evidences the number of points awarded at the fixture towards the title of Australian champion. At these shows only qualified judges officiate.
An Open Show is an exhibition of registered dogs at which no best of breed or challenge points are awarded, but dogs which have been awarded the title of Australian Champion may compete. At these shows, trainee judges officiate and it is considered the training ground for all young dogs and owners. It is particularly good to help socialise your dog as you may show your puppy from the age of three months.
A Parade is defined as the same as an open show except Champion dogs cannot compete.
Fun Days are open to everyone who has or just loves Bulldogs. Activities here are aimed at both the social and the fun side of interacting with your Bulldog. They are also a great place for prospective owners to see the various colours and meet and chat with fellow owners and breeders.
