That’s correct, in our very first year the West End Dog Show raised over six and a half thousand dollars for charity! The BC Guide Dog Services were the lucky recipients of this donation thanks to the outstanding support of our fantastic sponsors and the local dog lovers who donated at the event.
We will be growing this event in 2009 and will be raising the donation bar even higher. Will you help us raise more money next year??? By volunteering for the next West End Dog Show you can make sure we reach this goal!

The photo you see above is from the BC Guide Dog obstacle course that was set up during this event. People could wear a special blindfold and get lead through a maze with the aid of a service dog.
After having no vision for almost 2 minutes, guests were left disoriented and had a new appreciation for the valueable work these seeing-eye dogs do!
A reporter from the Shaw TV show The Express wants to interview interesting dog owners during the West End Dog Show.
Here is his official request:
“Hello, I am a Reporter with ShawTV planning to attend this Saturday’s dog show. I’m hoping to connect with an interesting individual(s) and their canine counterpart(s) to possibly interview. Basically, I’m looking for a person, or dog, with an interesting background or reason for participating in this event. Please feel free to contact me if you’re interested.”
