Sunday 22 May it's National Dog Day for the sixth time. During the Day of the Dog, everyone, with or without a dog, can go to more than 40 places in the country for information, demonstrations and activities in the field of (pedigree) dogs and all kinds of dog sports. The participating cynologists' clubs, dog sports clubs and breed clubs then jointly open their gates to the public. The aim of the Day of the Dog is to introduce everyone to all the fun, healthy and educational activities that can be done with a dog.
The theme of the sixth Day of the Dog is 'Dog &Breed'. At each location there is special information about the different dog breeds, purchasing a purebred dog and how you can be active with your (pedigree) dog. There is information about all kinds of sports and games with your dog and about the interaction between children and dogs.
The program is different at each location. There are demonstrations of obedience and dog sports such as agility or tracking. There are parades of dog breeds, questions can be asked to a behaviorist, a nutritionist or a dog groomer about grooming.
There is an overview map of all locations in the Netherlands and the activity program on www.dagvandehond.nl.
