| Overview
For over 25 years, the NDDTS has staged the Newbury and District Open Obedience Show which now boasts over 700 entrants. It is held at Chieveley Village Hall every year in June. In 2012 we celebrate our 50th Anniversary show.
An Open Show is one step up from a Companion Dog Show, the difference being that Open Show competitors must be Kennel Club registered and the standard is generally a little higher. Anyone can compete his or her dog in an Open Show providing it is registered with the Kennel Club, either in Breed or as a working Trials/Obedience dog (Activity); it does not need a pedigree. To register your dog, visit the Kennel Club website at http://www.the-kennel-club.org.uk and click on “Dog Register”.
At the Newbury Open Show, the classes range from Pre beginners up to Class C. You must enter at the lowest class for which your dog qualifies. For more information, see How to Enter.
We are proud of the standard of our show and deeply grateful to all judges and stewards who maintain this standard when they provide their services. Click here to see this year’s judges.
