*****
If you are planning on attending Crufts this year, held at the National Exhibition Centre, Birmingham, do come along and say hello to us on:
Saturday 7th March – Toy & Utility Day.
*****
PDWRA will be at the ringside of the Pug show judging area – we look forward to meeting as many of our supporters as possible.
We’ll be happy to discuss anything Pug; their quirks, health & wellbeing as well as the charity’s work in rescue & rehoming.
Find out about opportunities for volunteering locally as transporters or home-checkers, as well as virtually, supporting various operations from wherever you’re located at home.
Pugs entering the show ring now need to comply with stricter health-based rules.
All pugs (bulldogs and French bulldogs) must have a valid Respiratory Function Grading (RFG) assessment, and only those with a grade 1 or less will be eligible to compete.
We appreciate the intentions of these rules and welcome discussing this with anyone who wishes to do so.

Tickets are available from the now, Royal Kennel Club, at:
Crufts 2026 – Utility & Toy – Birmingham – The NEC – Sat, 7 Mar 2026, 08:15 – AXS UK
