Dog Zone
Barking up the right tree!
The ever popular Dog Zone is fun, fast and furious! Every dog and every owner is sure to find something to join in with, watch and thoroughly enjoy.
Dog events are an important part of Living Heritage's fairs, so quite a few dog events and demonstrations are included at each fair.
Every dog and every owner should find something of interest, from simply seeking advice or watching specialist demonstrations, to entering a pet dog into the Fun Dog Show or taking part in the challenging scurries.
For more competitive dogs and owners, taking part in the pedigree dog shows or Lurcher racing or Chase the Bunny (pure fun) or working tests or the Gundog Multiscurry should fit the bill!

Experience the sheer beauty of a gundog at work!
Gundogs are used to find and flush out live game and then to retrieve game when it has been shot.
Arena demontrations are informative and great fun to watch. At each fair visitors can watch working dogs in action with falcons as they perform a combined display.
As well as arena demonstrations there's a gundog clinic and gundog multi-scurry challenge, where everyone is welcome to come along with their dog to have a go or seek the professional team's advice.

Tom's not sheepish. He has to duck and dive though!
Tom has been giving Sheepdog displays & demonstrations with sheep, geese and ducks at venues across the British Isles for more than 20 years. He appears at large country shows and small village fetes as well and his displays are informative and amusing, especially when the ducks misbehave. Children love to see the ducks misbehave!

Works like a dream!
Trochry Gun Dogs are breeders & professional trainers of English Springer Spaniels, Cocker Spaniels & Labrador Retrievers.
Based in Oxfordshire, Trochry Gun Dogs are devoted to breeding, training and field trialing working with spaniels and retrievers, the most popular working dogs used in the field today.
Their dogs are trained and worked on the Blenheim Palace Estate shoots. Not all owners of gundogs get to see what is expected from the dogs on shooting days, so the aim is to demonstrate the extent of work carried out by the dogs at the Living Heritage Country Fairs.
Shown in a simulated shooting environment and demonstrating what is expected from a working gundog along with the high standards of training that need to be achieved. The displays also demonstrate some of the basic techniques used in early training which also apply to dogs as pets.

Collies in control
An event with a difference! Try your hand at working a sheepdog. The dogs are under your control, so the experience of actually working one of these fantastic border collies will be one to remember.
The dogs usually help David on the farm with his flock of 500 breeding ewes and their lambs, but at the shows David works with you and his geese, showing you how to cleverly navigate around obstacles.
It really makes you think about the characteristics of the animals and shows you skill, commitment and the capability of a working dog.

Probably the best racing there is!
The 2011 Lurcher racing season gives everyone the chance to take part and enjoy themselves in a friendly and warm atmosphere. Whether you are new to the Lurcher scene or a seasoned competitor, the events are a unique chance for all the family to become involved and to have a real chance of taking home a prize!
The show schedule incorporates a wide range of classes, offering something for everyone. The Bullcross championship is a brand new addititon this year too.
All the best in show winners qualify for the prestigious championship finals at the end of the year, with some great prize money up for grabs.
The Racing events are probably the best in the UK, with outstanding prize money for this year's winners. In 2011 Living Heritge has teamed up with RED MILLS, producers of winning formula greyhound food, to offer a grand prize purse of 1000 guineas! The prize is going to be presented at the championship final.
Are you up for the challenge? It's not for the faint hearted though, as it is tough. Only the top four dogs from each race day qualify.
For those less ambitious or new to the sport the timed events are a chance to chart your progress throughout the season. See if you can “Beat the Clock”. The four fastest times of the day qualify for the final at the end of the year which has total prize money of £500.
Younger dogs have a chance to shine with Lurcher puppy racing, especially included for dogs under 12 months of age. Why not give your pup a run in a safe, controlled environment? It's ideal for learning and for having fun.
Main Ring
The Grand National Steeple Chase is new and takes place in the main arena at shows throughout 2011. This is ideal for feisty little terriers and other dogs at the show who would like to have a go. The “Chase the Bunny” competition continues for the fifth year and is still thoroughly enjoyed by all who take part.
