Beyond the barks: Big Doggy Day Out's spectacular dog show
Get ready for an unforgettable day at the Big Doggy Day Out Dog Show in Banchory! We're bringing together dog lovers from across the North East of Scotland for an event filled with wagging tails, thrilling competitions, and heartwarming moments, all for a great cause. Join us for a day of canine celebration!
A day for every dog and owner
The Big Doggy Day Out Dog Show is all about celebrating dogs in all their wonderful variety. Whether you’re a seasoned competitor, the proud owner of a much-loved family pet, or simply someone who adores being surrounded by happy, wagging tails, you’ll feel right at home in the ring.
Our show is designed to be welcoming, relaxed, and genuinely fun, embracing every breed, every age, and every ability. From playful personalities to perfectly polished pups, every dog has their moment to shine.
We’re especially excited to feature a dedicated Young Handlers class, giving the next generation of dog lovers a chance to step into the spotlight, build confidence, and share their passion for dogs — a crowd favourite and a heart-melting highlight of the day.
Whether you’re entering for the thrill, the laughs, or just for the memories, the dog show is guaranteed to be packed with smiles, proud moments, and plenty of tail-wagging excitement.
There truly is something to delight dogs, owners, and spectators alike.
Tails for a cause: making a difference
Our dog show isn’t just about wagging tails, proud moments, and fun in the ring — it’s also about giving back.
We’re delighted to share that all proceeds from the dog show will be donated to Mrs Murray’s Cat & Dog Home, a wonderful local charity dedicated to rescuing, caring for, and rehoming animals in need.
Every entry, every class, and every cheer from the side-lines helps support dogs and cats who are still waiting for their forever homes.
Mrs Murray’s has some exciting and important projects on the horizon, and we’re incredibly proud to play a small part in supporting the amazing work they do.
Even better, the team from Mrs Murray’s Cat & Dog Home will be joining us at The Big Doggy Day Out, giving visitors the chance to learn more about the charity, their work, and how they help transform the lives of vulnerable animals.
By taking part in the dog show, you’re not only celebrating your own wonderful companion — you’re also helping provide care, shelter, and second chances to animals who truly need it.
Thank you for helping us turn fun into something genuinely meaningful ❤️
