Hundreds of dogs put their best paws forward at the weekend when the Ruahine Kennel Association hosted its annual Dog Dayz show.
Dog owners from throughout New Zealand were registered for the event which was held in perfect conditions in terms of dog shows - a slight breeze and not too hot.
A total of 415 entries were received for the Saturday show and 366 for Sunday's event.
The seven groups were made up of toys, gundogs, terriers, hounds, working dogs, utility dogs and non-sporting breeds. Each group is divided in six classes - baby, puppy, junior, intermediate, New Zealand bred and open.
Show manager Bob Weaver kept events ticking over during the two days, making sure the show ran smoothly.
Owners put in hours of work to ensure their dogs look their best.
