Roscrea SPCA's annual Fun Dog Show is always a fantastic family event and the wonderfully diverse selection of big and small dogs made for a very exciting competition.
The summer event took place at Roscrea Rugby Grounds, where entries were taken from 1.30pm and the show started an hour later.
It was a lovely sunny day and the number of entries reflected this, as there were almost 90 dogs entered in eleven classes with first place winners from each class going forward to The Best in Show.

All of the classes were sponsored and class sponsors and other sponsors are mentioned on the Roscrea SPCA Facebook page.
There was a raffle run over the course of the afternoon and all the prizes; trailer load of timber, voucher for home heating oil, and many other vouchers and hampers which were donated by our sponsors, were gratefully received by all the raffle winners.
