Paws for applause: Grangemouth's first dog show is runaway success

Grangemouth Stadium hosted its first annual dog show at the weekend, bringing lots of fun and four legged furry family friends from across the Falkirk area.

Grangemouth went to the dogs on Saturday, in the best possible way as the Grangemouth Community Sports Trust's first Fun Dog Show took place.

Categories on offer included Best Behaved Puppy, Best Obedience Trained, Best Rescue Dog, Golden Oldie and Best Dressed Pooch, before Best in Show crowned the day's top dog, with rosettes handed out the winners in each section.

Turnout exceeded expectations, with dogs of all shapes and sizes descending on the stadium for the inaugural event. Owners travelled from across Falkirk and further afield to take part, there are now hopes that it could become a permanent fixture on the local calendar.

A panel of judges put the entrants through their paces, while crowds gathered pitch-side to cheer them on.

The event was also held with support from Grangemouth’s ‘Loo Crew’, adding another positive community touch to the day out.
