TAILS will be wagging at a major dog show being held this weekend as hundreds of canines from across the country descend upon the area.

The Cheltenham and District Dog Show takes place in the Severn Hall at Malvern's Three Counties Showground on Sunday, February 13, and a total of 1,300 canines have been entered into the competition.

Judging starts at 9am, with the money raised from several charity classes going to the Worcestershire Animal Rescue Centre in Newland, Malvern.

There will also be an assortment of trade stalls selling various dog-related items such as leads, beds, bones, toys and shampoos.

The bi-annual event has been held in Malvern for more than 25 years and the next show is set to be held on Sunday, October 9. Entry is free.
