WINDSOR DOG SHOW

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT

Windsor Dog Show Society have taken the decision to cancel its Championship Show for 2026.
The continuing high temperatures in the UK and particularly in the South of England are likely to continue beyond Thursday. As many people already know, the Committee had taken great steps to reorganise the event in three days, but in recognition of the extreme weather conditions and potential impact on the dogs and people attending and working at the show, the Committee made the decision at 2pm on June 24th.

The Committee recognises that this decision will impact on exhibitors, trade stand holders, overseas visitors and the many suppliers linked with the show, but hopes that everyone will appreciate the gravity of the situation and that the welfare of the dogs must be kept uppermost in our minds.
It is important to note that the decision to cancel was made by the Windsor Committee and its officers and not by the Crown Estates, as incorrectly suggested in some quarters.

We would ask all concerned to allow the team time to assess all aspects of the situation, without calling or emailing. There is a lot for the committee to work through, but we would again stress that the decision has been taken with everyone's welfare in mind in this unique situation of extreme weather at the time of the show.

In the meantime, we will be speaking to the Royal Kennel Club about future plans.
Further information will be shared through our media partners, OUR DOGS and Fosse Data, who will communicate directly with exhibitors.

✨ WDS MEMORIES ✨

We had the pleasure of finally meeting Julia Knyazeva, breeder of Kai’s sire First, and it was love at first sight 🤍🐾

A huge thank you to Julia for being such an important part of our breeding programme and for the lovely gift. We are looking forward to enjoying the French 🇫🇷 wine very soon 🍷✨

Through First and his owner Linda Cox, Julia’s influence is an important part of Kai’s story, making this meeting at the World Dog Show even more special.

Until next time 🤞🏾🙏🏽❤️
