Ah, the Brits and their beloved breeds!
At DogFest, we know that loyalty to your favourite dog breed runs deeper than the Thames itself. Every year, our Breed Meet-Up arena explodes with wagging tails and joyful barks as proud owners gather to swap dog-tastic tales. Picture beautific Beagles exchanging knowing glances, stoic Schnauzers comparing agility tips, and perky Pugs trading treat insights – it’s a heartwarming symphony of canine connection!

We understand the passion that burns for purebred pups in British hearts. And over the years, we’ve learned one crucial truth: every breed deserves a place in the DogFest sun.
But, with over 300 different types of dog breeds in the UK alone, it’s just not possible to represent them all. And we don’t wish to see any tail drooping in disappointment. So, we’ve created an inclusive category to welcome all breeds. Look out for our ‘Best of the Rest, All Breeds Welcome’, ‘Little and Large’ and ‘Rescue’ categories.

8. Pug
Pugs are small in size but massive in personality. Let’s face it they do make us laugh.
7. Golden Retriever
Golden Retrievers are known for their gentle and friendly nature. They’re often called “sunny dogs” which is why people with small children swear by them.
6. English Bulldog
These dogs are gentle giants at heart. Their aggressive tendencies have been selectively bred out, leaving behind a calm, affectionate doggie.
5. Border Collie
A top choice for dog enthusiasts because they’re just so good at obedience training and dog sports.
4. Dachshund
Dachshunds are brave, curious, and tenacious. They’re also known for their amusing and often stubborn personalities.
3. French Bulldog
This little doggie has surged in popularity thanks to its iconic bat-like ears and expressive face.
2. Cocker Spaniel
Cocker Spaniels thrive on human companionship and we love them for their affectionate personalities and boundless energy.
1. Labrador Retriever
Top of the pops is the lovable Labrador! These big softies are highly trainable and show sheer brilliance in obedience and agility activities.
Regardless of your breed there’s a category for you at our 2024 Breed Meet-Up arena. Join us!
