Carlisle canine society 'proud' after hosting Premier Open Show

Carlisle and District Canine Society, which has been running dog-related events since 1943, held its latest show on Saturday, April 20 at Greenland Equestrian Centre.

The Premier Open Show was attended by over 1,400 dog owners with 864 dogs competing for places at Crufts 2025 and prize money in the stakes classes. 

Pamela MacLellan, Carlisle and District Canine Society's secretary played a key role in organising and running the show alongside her fellow committee members.

She said: "It was amazing, there is a lot of hard work that goes into it and we have had some wonderful feedback with people commenting on how amazing the job we have done is and that makes it all worthwhile.

"We are now officially the biggest Premier Open Show in the North West of England so we are really proud as a committee."
