DOG SHOW ENTRY
The Fun Dog Show 2026 is once again opening the Love Lennox Festival with many cute, furry events. This is a kid‑friendly event and we invite all members of the dog community to come along and celebrate our dogs. We have something for everyone, from dress‑ups to a peanut‑butter‑eating race, plus loads of fun games and entertainment in between. There are prizes for 1st, 2nd and 3rd in every category – that’s 21 prize bags up for grabs – plus seven 1st place trophies to be awarded on the day. Every dog show entry also includes a free ticket into our Raffle, with raffle proceeds donated to Northern Rivers Animal Services to support local rescue animals. Please book your entries online to secure your spot so you don’t miss out on the cutest event of the year.
CATEGORIES
WIENER RACE
All sausage dogs are invited to sprint their little legs off in this just‑for‑fun race. Standard and Mini Dachshunds will run in separate races so everyone gets a fair go.
WAGGIEST TAIL
PEANUT BUTTER CHALLENGE
Dogs compete to see who can lick their spoonful of dog‑safe peanut butter clean the quickest. It’s messy, funny, and a great way to show off your dog’s determination and food‑drive.
MOST PLEASING PAWSHAKE
This class is for the friendliest paw‑shakers – from gentle, polite paws to enthusiastic high‑fives. Judges will look for manners, cooperation, and that sweet connection between dog and handler.
DOGGIE DASH
TALENT TIME
Bring your dog’s best trick or special skill – anything from sit‑pretty to skateboard riding is welcome. Judges will look at creativity, difficulty for that dog, and how happily they work with their person.
BEST DRESSED
Dogs and owners can dress up in their most creative, cute, or hilarious outfits. Judges are looking for safe, comfortable costumes that show personality and make the crowd smile.
