Our Champ Show 24 is on May 25th in Naas Co Kildare. We would like to ask all of our Winners from 23 to please return Trophies or Shields so we can engrave your Dogs names for Historical purposes. There is a €10 euro fee per engraving. Members of our Committee will be at Combined Canine weekend and will happily accept trophies and payment.

There is no place for abuse in dog training. There are horrific videos going around the internet of one particular trainer who’s techniques are disgraceful and abusive. It doesn’t matter whether you are working with a Pug, a Bulldog or a Leonberger like this beauty here - there is zero justification for cruelty, regardless of the issue. This male trainer has a large following of people who are swayed into thinking that stringing dogs up by their leashes and collars until they defecate on themselves is ok because ultimately it ‘saves dogs’ lives’ and stops them from being euthanized. This is a myth. Please do not be conned into thinking this is ok for any dog, and if you care about your dog or dogs’ welfare in general, avoid watching, sharing or supporting this man and make your voice heard.
As an ambassador for the RSPCA, I take cruelty to animals in general and in dog training very seriously. I have fought against it for over 20 years and will continue to do so. Everything we do at VSPDT, VSA and Positively shows you effective alternatives to harsh methods, and exposes the truth behind the myths of antiquated and dangerous theories, beliefs and methods.

Pet abandonment not just an Irish problem.
Thousands of holidaygoers in France are abandoning their pets on the way to the coast or countryside, local shelters say, with one organization already taking in 12,000 animals this summer

People are still leaving their pets on the roadside or at highway rest stops as they rush to their holidays, Transport Minister Clément Beaune said.
