Yorkshire Shepherdess Amanda Owen to judge Harrogate Dog Show

Wednesday, 12 March 2025 14:11

Amanda Owen, AKA The Yorkshire Shepherdess, is coming back to Harrogate.

Harrogate BID has revealed that Yorkshire Shepherdess Amanda Owen will return as the star judge for this year' Dog Show.

Amanda, known for her work on popular TV shows including ‘Our Yorkshire Farm’, judged all of the entries in last year’s show.

Amanda will join a jam-packed day of prize categories and dog-themed classes as the show returns to the Piazza outside the Victoria Shopping Centre on Saturday 12th April.

Matthew Chapman, Chief Executive at Harrogate BID, said:

“The Harrogate Dog Show is an event that’s growing in popularity year-on-year, with last year’s category spaces selling out super quickly!

“We’re honoured to have the chance to work alongside a nationally renowned star like Amanda and we can’t wait to deliver another successful event for not only our BID Members, but our town as a whole.”

Entries for each of the competition categories will be available on a first come first served basis, with category titles set to be announced over the coming weeks.

This year’s Harrogate Dog Show will also feature a pop-up pet-themed market in the town centre with the chance to purchase a range of products from relevant traders.

The BID team have again opened up category sponsorship in this year’s Dog Show, offering the chance to BID member businesses to promote their offer to thousands of attendees on the day.

If you have any questions, or would like to find out more information, please email the Harrogate BID team on info@harrogatebid.co.uk
