The Bobcaygeon  Fair dog show was started in 1972 by Sterling Jermyn, then a new member of the fair board.  He wanted to provide an event for children who did not have farm animals to exhibit and so he created the Pet Show for dogs and cats. 

 

In later years the classes for cats was discontinued and it became the Bobcaygeon Fair dog show.

 

Forty five years later the show is still a popular event, and many grand children and great grand children of the kids that showed all those years ago enter each year.

Classes for Best small, medium and large dog are provided, to be shown by children 14 years old and under. 

 

Prize money and ribbons are given out fair day.

 

A popular event in the show is the Obstacle Race for the person and dog.

Classes for children 7 to 11 years and age 12 and over allowing adults to compete in this race too.  Some of the obstacles include tunnels, weave poles , board walk and hanging tire. 

The dogs are shown on leash and must do all the obstacles with the handler. ie the handler must go through the tunnels too.

 

This show has been entered and watched by people from all over Ontario. 

We hope you will join the fun too.
