Young and Old Celebrate Canine Companions at Richmond Village Nantwich Dog Show

This past Saturday, Richmond Village Nantwich, in collaboration with Wych-Malbank Rotary, hosted their first Dog Show, creating a delightful day for both young and old. The event was a resounding success, bringing together the community to celebrate their love for dogs.

A total of 15 dogs participated in various entertaining classes, including Best Rescue, Prettiest Girl, and Waggiest Tail. These spirited pooches then went on to compete in the highly anticipated Best in Show contest. The title was awarded to Spaniel Meeko, with proud owner Val beaming by his side. Runners-up included the charming Megan and the adorable Dexter.

The excitement didn’t stop there. Attendees were treated to an impressive obedience showcase by the Danesford Obedience Dog Training Club, known for their regular appearances at the prestigious Crufts. The club's demonstration highlighted the incredible discipline and training of their canine members, captivating the audience.

The event was not just about competition and showcases; it was a day filled with joy, laughter, and community spirit. Residents, family and friends shared in the festivities, fostering connections and celebrating their shared passion for dogs.

"We are thrilled with the turnout and the enthusiastic participation from the community," said Nicola Jackson, Senior Village Advisor, Richmond Village Nantwich. "This event has truly brought people together, and we look forward to making it an annual tradition."

The Richmond Village Nantwich Dog Show was more than just a fun day out. It showcased the bond between humans and their furry friends and underscored the importance of community events in bringing people of all ages together.
