KWWSPCA events this weekend

The Kildare and West Wicklow SPCA have two annual events this weekend, the Pet Blessing and the Wag & Bone Dog Show, writes Brian Byrne.

The blessing ceremony will be held in Christchurch, Celbridge, on Saturday at 3pm, and welcomes pet owners of all faiths and none. Those whose pets are unable to attend due to anxiety or illness are invited to bring a photograph, as are those whose pets are deceased. Refreshments will be served afterwards.

The Dog Show at Punchestown is on Sunday, 28 September, postponed earlier this month due to weather. Registrations for the 26 classes start at 1pm. All dogs must be kept on leads and controlled at all times, restricted breeds must be muzzled, and no dog under 6 months old is to be entered into any of the classes.

Classes: Waggiest Tail, Child Under 12 with Their Dog, Rescue Dog, Fanciest Female Dog, Handsomest Male Dog, Senior Citizen with Their Dog, Veteran Dog (9 years and over), Fancy Dress – Dog and Owner, The Dog You Would Most Like to Take Home, Dog Most Like its Owner, Child Under 16 with Their Dog, Open Class, Best in Show. There will also be a High Jump Competition at the end of the Show.
