Pictures from 2012 Dog Fun Day Available Here

Saturday 14th September 2013

Please Note Change of Venue to The Parkland (the old Golf Course) behind Fleming Park Leisure Centre's main football pitches.

We have changed the venue because we have been asked by The Kennel Club to hold one of the national heats of SCRUFFTS at the event.  (Access to the new venue will be from the car park at the Civic Offices in Leigh Road, Eastleigh)

PLEASE NOTE - SCRUFFTS is a competition for non-pedigree dogs.

This is a great coup for Eastleigh Borough Council.  Rosettes will be awarded by SCRUFFTS to the 1st, 2nd and 3rd winners of each SCRUFFTS class and the winners of each category will be invited to a semi-final at Discover Dogs which is organised by The Kennel Club.   Each class winner from Discover Dogs is then invited to the Grand Final at  CRUFTS itself.  It is a fantastic opportunity for dog owners. 

Eastleigh Borough Council will be holding its own fun classes as usual, in the morning on the day of the event. The Kennel Club SCRUFFTS classes will be held from 1.00pm onwards.  A full itinerary for the day will be published nearer the time of the event and there will be the opportunity to register beforehand for the SCRUFFTS heats.

Some of the other attractions already booked are:-

• PDSA Pet Check - book an appointment on the day
• Marwell Zoo Bus
• Local Rescue Centres
• Pet Behaviourists and trainers
• Have a go agility
