Your Dog,Discover Dogs & Pet Expo

Paul | blog | September 2, 2011

A good fiend of mine recently gave me a bunch of old dog magazines

They are all “your dog” publication and are the 12 monthly editions from the year 2004

I am trawling through same at the moment to see if there is any good material that I can use for the blog, and at the moment can say, that not an awful lot has changed in the 7 years since these magazines were hot off the press.

Letters written in were about behavioural issues, and column inches were given to raids on dog fighting rings and animal abuse.

I have also came across a small piece about Discover Dogs advising that 21,000 people attended the show at Earls Court London that year compared to 18,000 the previous year.

I just hope that the people that have signed up to this years Breed Village at Pet Expo being held on the 08th and 09th of October in the RDS, Dublin are prepared for the onslaught of questions and excitement from Joe Public, when representing their breed at this years event.
