The main highlight of the event was the competition to find the best Show Championship dog. The dogs were divided into seven classes; Gun dogs, Hounds, Toy, Utility, Working, Pastoral and Terrier. Each dog had to be submitted for a health check up and needed the vet’s approval before they were allowed to compete. The participating fee was priced at Rs 1000. [break]
Avinash Malla, Program Coordinator, said, “There will be a winner from each class and then the award for the Best in Show Championship will be given to the best dog. The dogs will be judged on their breed characteristics.”
The winner of the event later was handed a cash prize of Rs 10,000, 60 kgs of dog food from Smart Hand Dog Food and two mountain flights from Buddha Air. The competition was being judged by Juliette Cunliffe, a licensed judge from England.
There were around 15 stalls in the event selling food, medicine and accessories for the dogs as well as selling a few pups. The entry was priced at Rs 70 for students and Rs 100 for others.
