Dogs are as much a member of the family as anyone else in many households in the Midlands and the Dunkerrin Dog Show and Fete was a wonderful day out for all the members of the family - two legged and four!
The event took place in July and has once again proven to be the highlight event of the year for the area, with huge crowds flocking to the picturesque village in spite of some very heavy downpours throughout the day.

The committee would like to thank everyone who came for their support, to Dunkerrin Hall Committee for the use of the hall, to Mr Jim Dockery for providing marquee and tents which provided comfort from the rain for both dogs and owners, to everyone who gave sponsorship, raffle prizes, donations and help in any way to make the day such a success.
