Barking Beach Bonanza Battles the Great British Weather!
On Saturday September 6th, the Kennel Club’s dog owners group, KC Dog and Hampshire County Council held their Barking Beach Bonanza at Lepe beach and Country Park, where dog walkers and councillors braved the heavy rain and winds!
Not only was the Barking Beach Bonanza a fun packed morning filled with agility and a fitness walk (as well as plenty of hot drinks), it was organised by KC Dog and Hampshire County Council to highlight the important issue of dogs being banned unnecessarily from beaches as a result of overly restrictive dog control orders. The Bonanza demonstrated the great bond between man and dog and also the health benefits that dogs bring to their owners. Most importantly the event showed that dogs and their owners are all year round users of the beach, whatever the weather!
KC Dog was established to ensure dog control orders are introduced reasonably. This year, Hampshire County Council won the KC Dog local authority award as a result of the work it has done with dog owners and the sensible approach to land management that has been taken as a result.
