The Border Union Agricultural Society held its first Championship Dog Show in August 1975, and is now considered one of the most prestigious events on the calendar, welcoming competitors from across the world.
Held over two days, there are classes for 116 different breeds. Gundogs, Hounds and Terriers are on one day and the Working, Pastoral, Utility and Toys on the other. Entries are normally between 5000 and 6000 dogs.
