Show Sponsors and Charity Fundraising
The show was organised by the council's Dog Welfare Officer working with a range of local partners and sponsored by Eastbourne Crime Reduction Partnership, Sussex Police Neighbourhood Policing Team, Eastbourne and District Dog Training Club and St Annes Veterinary Group.
The event aimed to encourage all dog owners to be responsible, have fun with their dogs and educate owners to clean up after their pets.
The show raised £800 for charity, supporting two animal welfare charities - £400 for the PDSA and £400 for the Basil Fund supporting local abandoned dogs.
