Kyle said: “The more the better for us, that’s what it’s about. It’s not about making money and just putting on big fancy shows. It’s about showing breeds of dogs properly.
“It’s more about making people aware that there’s not just bulldogs and staffies, there’s all kinds of breeds out there.”
The event promises to be a celebration of all things canine, bringing together dogs and their owners for a day of fun and festivities.

Hide AdThe festival will feature a range of dog shows, of which there are 10 different categories.
There’s a best in show and reserve best in show for which, according to Kyle, they’ve got some very big trophies for. Also, every first, second, and third place from each class will all receive a rosette.
There will also be a host of different stalls, including Pets & Friends, Battersea Dogs & Cats Home, dog treat stalls, dog equipment stalls, gift stalls and food stalls.
The event doesn’t make a profit. Each time they do a dog show, they try to raise money for a different charity. At this event some of the proceeds will go to North Northants Community First Responders, who will be there making people aware of who they are and what they do.

Kyle, who has run other dog shows in Corby but not yet a dog festival, said: “It’s just awesome, there’s never any issues there.
“It’ll be a nice, safe, family environment, it’ll be great for everyone and there’s something for everyone. You don’t need to have a dog to come, you can come down just to get out and chill out.”
