From May 10th to 12th 2024, Daegu hosted its annual pet festival, and Dojeon team member Lewis was lucky enough to attend with one of his Korean rescue dogs! Here's everything you need to know that went down this weekend!
I attended the event on Saturday 11th, 2024, and took my four-year-old rescue Pug (Chowder). Surprisingly, the event was heaving and I had never seen so many dogs in one place!
The event had everything you could need from pet treats & food to insurance providers and beds and leashes! Yes, of course, I treated Chowder to some new treats and he also made many friends at the event who thought he was adorable!
The endless stalls made it a great day out, and for my first pet show, I was impressed with the variety of stalls at the event. I will be going back next year!
Of course, as you can see below Pugs are agile as well!
The dog circuit was open to anyone who wanted to put their dogs through the test, and complimentary treats were given out, which the furry friends appreciated.
The dog-owning culture in Korea has also started to boom, so I think this is why the event was as busy as it was. There were many stalls, but my favorite part had to be the dog shows!
Divided into categories of dogs, as well as the level of entrance (professional / student) there were so many different breeds and styles at the event. For me, the Dobermans were my favorite and the work that I could see going into the event was impressive!
I believe the pet show demonstrates Korea's step forward into the dog owner industry, and I was surprised to see so many dogs, especially bigger breeds. It was such a great day for me and Chowder!
Let us know in the comments below if you have ever been to a dog show, and what your favorite breed is!
