FROM 4 to 6 April, the Wangaratta Kennel and Obedience Club (WK&OC) joined the Ovens Valley Canine Club (OVCC) in hosting their annual confirmation dog shows.

Kevin Felmingham, president of the WK&OC, said it was one of the biggest shows they've held in a while with about 2500 entries over the five shows, two of which were based in Myrtleford with the OVCC .

"The weather was perfect and saw exhibitors from many states head in to showcase their beautifully-bred dogs under the seven expert judges from Queensland," he said.

Over the course of the three days, canine specialty vendors, dog myotherapy, junior handlers, and baby and puppy sweepstakes were on offer.

Mr Felmingham thanked local community sponsors who made the event possible, along with the amazing group of volunteers who helped each show run smoothly.
