Dog lovers and their pet pooches are invited to the annual event of the North East canine calendar – Wallington Woofs on Sunday 4 March, from 11am - 4pm.

Now in it’s second year, Wallington Woofs is a day dedicated to our four legged friends and offers the chance to get involved in a variety of fun dog show classes including the dog with the waggiest tail, the cutest puppy and the even the dog that looks most like it’s owner.

There will also be a guided dog walk, a Cavaliers v Roundheads agility demo and a “have a go” agility ring, as well as a children’s dog trail and a chance to meet rescue dogs in need of a new home.

This year, we've teamed up with Cleverpawz Canine Team Challenge Club (CCTCC), who will be helping to run and judge the canine classes, as well as organising an agility knockout battle between their plucky Pugs and dashing Cavalier King Charles Spaniels.

Throughout the day, agility trainer Lucy Parkin from Cleverpawz will also be providing a 'have a go' agility ring so dogs can experience agility for themselves.

In addition, there will be lots of lovely dog themed trade stands including an animal artist, a pet photographer and companies selling hand-made dog treats, leads, collars, toys, coats, beds and much more.

The RSPCA will also be in attendance with some of the dogs in their care and they can microchip your dog too for a minimum donation of £5.

We hope you'll put your best paw forward and come along.
