CANINE lovers from all over the country gathered in Hampshire for an annual dog show.

The Southampton and District Canine Association held the event at Royal Victoria Country Park near Netley Abbey.

Dog owners entered their four-legged friends into a number of competition classes and categories.

Association secretary Sue Wilkinson said the event was well attended, adding: “Entries have been slightly down on last year but in these hard economic times it’s pretty good.

“We have had people from all over the country, including Birmingham, the south-east and the south-west.”
