Companion Dog Shows are the formal name by which charity dog shows licensed by the Kennel Club are known.  They are fun, informal events that all dogs can take part in and are usually held as part of a village fete, charity open day or as a fundraising event in their own right.  Quite simply they are great days out for the whole family – including your dog!  If you want to find out more please follow the link on this page Taking Part in a Companion Dog Show.

It’s not just about fun though - dogs and their owners can make a serious contribution to any cause you may want to raise money for. The shows are straightforward to organise, very popular with the local community and the Kennel Club can provide you with plenty of help and advice should you wish to hold one. 

In order not to exclude pedigree dogs you need to apply to the Kennel Club for a licence to hold the event and schedule some simple breed classes like Any Variety Terrier.

All the information sheets and application forms you need to ensure your Companion Dog Show goes with a swing are available to download from this site by following the links provided.  All this information is also available as a new Fundraisers Pack.  If you would like to order one please contact the Canine Activities Service Team on 0870 606 6750 or email lauren.lowe@thekennelclub.org.uk

Note: Companion Dog Shows used to be known as Exemption Dog Shows (as they were exempt from normal competition rules) and some people still refer them as such.
