Hi Everyone

2023 is a very special year for us as it marks 30 years of The Friendly Dog Club! WOW!

To celebrate, we have been invited to perform our legendary Doggy Line Dance at Dogstival on 3rd and 4th June and we would love as many of you as possible to join us for this special occasion. We will, of course, be arranging some practice sessions over the coming weeks so you can learn the routine.

The invitation is for members past and present and is open to dogs and handlers of all abilities and ages. The line dance is just a little routine of loose lead walking set to music and can be viewed here - https://youtu.be/UmQqPkIVGAA
