Midlan Game Fair - Working Dog Village

A Spaniel Accelerates away at the Working dog VillageWorking dogs provide an essential service to the countryside, and have an important role in almost all field sports. Whether they are stewarding livestock, hunting or retrieving game, or competing at a country fair our working dog breeds perform a multitude of tasks, with unquestioning loyalty. Dogs and humans work together in a myriad of countryside pastimes and activities, many of which would be virtually impossible without canine skills and assistance.

The Midland Game Fair is an event for the whole family – including the dog! The Working Dog Village offers as much fun and excitement for your dog as it does for the rest of the family. Whatever your interest, or skill level, there’s a wide variety of activities for you and your dog to enjoy. Here’s a little of what you’ll see…
