Once again, a big thank you to all involved in making the 2007 event such a success! The sun shone all day, over 1000 visitors and hundreds of dogs of all shapes and sizes enjoyed the demonstrations and competitions. Around £7000 was raised for charity and a good time was had by all!

There’s fun for everyone – and their dogs – at Hayne Dog Jamboree. Running for four years, the event is held in September in the grounds of Hayne Old Manor, Moretonhampstead. Held in aid of charity, the event runs form 11am – 5.00 pm with gates opening at 10am.

For the last two eventsthere was the added excitement of a ‘guest celebrity’. Newfoundland dog BILBO, the first dog to be awarded a lifeguard’s certificate, travelled to the event from his home in Sennen Cove, Cornwall. Bilbo’s success had been widely documented in national and local press and he gave a demonstration of his life saving skills in the lake at Hayne Old Manor.

The Jamboree promises a great family day out for dog enthusiasts and families alike with an imaginative range
of entertainment including various dog competitions open to all. The programme is also packed with demonstrations
– from Working Sheepdog to Gundog, Agility to Heelwork to music, Patrol Dog to Flyball, and much more. So whether your dog is a pedigree or a beloved mutt there is a competition to suit you.
