Every dog, as the saying goes, has its day.
The pooches of Parkview – whether pretty, pug-faced or pedigreed – are being pampered, preened and prepared for their big occasion.
It’s the inaugural dog show being held at the Parkview Golf Club on the afternoon of Sunday, 25 September (starting at 14:00) as part of the club’s year-long centenary celebrations.
“It’s one of several events the club has arranged for the year to involve local communities in the celebration of our 100 years,” said Franco Pellegrini, chairman of the club’s centenary committee. “Of course, we welcome domestic pets and their owners from all the suburbs around us.”
He stresses that the accent is on fun rather than stringent examinations of breeding and appearance.
“The pooches will be judged in categories including puppies, the ugliest and cutest dogs, dogs who resemble their owners, the best six legs shared by dogs and their owner, and the dog the judges would most like to take home. And we’ll have some great prizes for them,” Franco says.
The afternoon will include displays by the Marks Park All Breeds Canine Club Johannesburg and Dancing with Dogs. There will be other attractions for children and food and drinks will be on sale.
“Most pets are part of the family,” says Franco, “so we’re looking forward to a great afternoon for everyone.”
