The Kennel Club is delighted that last weekend saw 27,500 dog lovers come to visit Discover Dogs, especially in this current economic climate.
Kennel Club Communications Director, Caroline Kisko said: “Discover Dogs is such an important educational platform for the Kennel Club and the many charities that attend the show. Not only in promoting the importance of finding the right dog for prospective owners but also the very crucial messages of what happens when you get your new member of the family home and the next stages such as training and socialising.
“We are delighted that so many people visited the show and are thankful to everyone who worked so hard to make the show as successful as it was, from our brilliant breed booth volunteers, display teams, seminar speakers, and judges of the different competitions to the trade stands, we hoped they all enjoyed the show.”

Notes to Editors:
The Kennel Club is the largest organisation in the UK devoted to dog health, welfare and training. Its objective is to ensure that dogs live healthy, happy lives with responsible owners.
It runs the country’s largest registration database for both pedigree and crossbreed dogs and the Petlog database, which is the UK’s largest reunification service for microchipped animals. The Kennel Club Assured Breeder Scheme is the only scheme in the UK that monitors and sets standards for breeders, in order to protect the welfare of puppies and breeding bitches. It also runs the UK’s largest dog training programme, the Good Citizen Dog Training Scheme and licenses shows and clubs across a wide range of activities, which help dog owners to bond and enjoy life with their dogs. The Kennel Club runs the world’s greatest dog show, Crufts, and the Discover Dogs event at Earls Court, London, which is a fun family day out that educates people about how to buy responsibly and care for their dog.
The Kennel Club invests the money that it makes from registrations and its Petlog identification database into its dog training and education programmes, welfare campaigns and the Kennel Club Charitable Trust, which supports dog welfare charities and research into dog diseases. The Kennel Club jointly runs health screening schemes with the British Veterinary Association and, through the Charitable Trust, funds the Kennel Club Genetics Centre at the Animal Health Trust, which is at the forefront of pioneering research into dog health.
