Tickets are on sale for London’s biggest dog event, Discover Dogs, returning to ExCeL London on November 20-21.
The event gives visitors the opportunity to meet, greet and cuddle hundreds of dogs, and to celebrate the ways man’s best friend helped thousands during the pandemic.
Organised by The Kennel Club and sponsored by Royal Canin, Discover Dogs features hundreds of different breed stands so visitors can learn more about their four-legged friends from experts, find out more about how to buy a dog responsibly, and how to look after their new canine companion.
Vanessa McAlpine, events executive at The Kennel Club, said: “We are glad to bring Discover Dogs back in 2021. It’s a fun event for any dog lover that celebrates our unique relationship with dogs, as well as vitally educating would-be owners about the importance of choosing the right breed for their lifestyle and making sure they buy a puppy responsibly. We will also celebrate our everyday canine superheroes that helped thousands through the pandemic.”
Other features of the show include the Young Kennel Club interactive activity ring alongside other old favourites such as the crossbreed competition, Scruffts, displays from the Metropolitan Police dogs and puppies, and agility competitions.
Visitors will also have the opportunity to meet some of the British and Irish vulnerable native breeds, such as the otterhound, and learn about the issues that these historic breeds can face.
