Events page updated 21st July 2010 - please keep checking this page for updates.
May we remind all DCGR members that responsibility and liability for your dog/s at any event you attend with DCGR, lies with you the owner.
Tip to members - if your dog is not an 'old hand' at attending events then he/she might be nervous at first and may even try to slip his/her collar. Not all our homed dogs are used to large crowds and lots of other dogs, so give them the chance to meet and greet slowly, don't force them and most importantly watch them for signs of stress! If stressed your dog may try to escape and if it's collar is not tight enough it will! Be vigilant and aware of your dogs needs, as much as we appreciate our members attendance at events and help with fund raising, your dogs welfare is of prime importance. If you do attend a few events you will find that your dog, if nervous at first, will soon begin to enjoy the socialising and greeting old 'friends' - as you can witness when Roma and Magic meet!
