Statement from the Belfast Dog Show Society
It is with regret that the officers and committee of Belfast Dog Show Society announces that its 2020 Championship Show is cancelled.
This decision has been made in the interest of the welfare, safety and security of judges, exhibitors, spectators, volunteers and the officers and committee, caused by the Covid-19 pandemic.
Belfast Dog Show Society have taken into consideration the latest Kennel Club directions and the Northern Ireland Assembly Government guidelines, which continue to enforce the lock-down in Northern Ireland.
There are many uncertainties which adversely affect the preparation and actual running of the Belfast Dog Show Society Championship 2020 show.
The doubts in the availability of the flight restrictions, hotel accommodation plus social restrictions, all contributed as to whether the show should proceed and have all been discussed with the decision to cancel the 2020 show.
The 2020 judges will be contacted to advise of the cancellation and to discuss future appointments.
The officers and committee of the Belfast Dog Society Show send their best wishes to our members, supporters, exhibitors, stewards and all judges at this most difficult time.
We look forward to your support at the Belfast Dog Show Society 2021 Championship Show.
Please stay safe and thank you all for your support.

It is with shock and sadness that we learned of the sudden death of our vice chairperson and committee member Patricia Page on Wednesday, the 2nd of December 2020.
Patricia was a long serving life member of the Belfast Dog Show Society, and Show Secretary for the obedience and agility competitions, held in conjunction with the championship show each year.
Patricia’s love and enthusiasm for dogs spanned many years and disciplines, including obedience from an early age, to showing Great Danes in the 1980’s and later her beloved “Harlewood” Bulldogs. She had great success in showing, obedience, agility, and rally, as well as being a outstanding dog trainer and secretary to various clubs and societies.
The officers, committee and members of the Belfast Dog Show Society send their sincere condolences to her husband Stephen, daughter Shirley and son Stephen, at this very sad time.
