Animals, Animals and Animals

So many animals to see.  Dogs, Cats, Chickens, Horse, Cows, Rabbits and more!!

Did you know?

In 1870, cats were surprisingly shown as an extra exhibit in the poultry competition, but in 1929 they were given their own competition and have been the cream of the crop ever since. The ADVANCE™ Sydney Royal Cat Show is recognised as one of the most prestigious competitions in the world for fancy felines, judged by breed, then group and finally by ring. The ultimate winner is then awarded Best in Show, also affectionately and unofficially to be known as ‘top cat’.

How adorable are these cats?

Man’s best friend has long been a popular Show attraction, with the announcement of the highly coveted Best in Show drawing huge crowds every year. The central component of the ADVANCE™ Sydney Royal Dog Show is the breed judging, where our canine friends are assessed on their temperament, general appearance, features, height, weight, and colour in accordance with the Australian National Breed Standards.

All breeds are assessed by highly qualified judges, with four international judges joining the ranks this year from Germany, Croatia, Mexico, and the United Kingdom.

But it doesn’t stop at breed judging! There is plenty of action at the judging lawns, including the Obedience Trials–from novice through to master, and the Agility Competition–where dogs compete to be the fastest and most flawless through a series of obstacles.
