The outbreak of foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) is requiring our full attention and flexibility. Although dogs are not susceptible to this disease, some club and regional dog shows have not received approval from the Regional Veterinary Office to take place at their originally planned locations, which has led to changes in date or venue.
The further development of safety measures will depend on how the FMD situation evolves.
The experience with COVID-19 has taught us to stay adaptable when organizing dog shows. We are fully committed to preparing the NOVOHRADDOG Show and the DOGFESTIVAL shows, and we believe they will be held as planned. If not, we are ready to reschedule or relocate them if needed.
In the event of any changes, exhibitors will be able to cancel their entries and either transfer the entry fees to any of the NITRADOG, NOVOHRADDOG, or DOGFESTIVAL shows, or request a refund.

Dear junior handlers, especially from abroad ! You may have noticed that in 2024 the Junior handling club Slovakia is holding a year-long scoring competition for junior handlers from abroad OUTLANDER JUNIOR HANDLER 2024 ! Points will also be counted from the Junior handling competitions held at our CACIB Veľká Ida DOGFESTIVAL So definitely don’t miss the registration: www.clubdogshow.sk More info: http://www.juniorhandling.sk/top-outlander/
Don’t worry, we haven’t forgotten the little ones either! In Slovakian shows, for security reasons, the “Child and Dog” competition has not been held at international or national shows for several years. However, we want to support the passion for shows (and therefore pedigree dogs) even among our youngest, whose age doesn´t yet allow them to compete in Junior handling competitions. So, children up to 9 years old will be able to experience a competitive atmosphere, to show that they also know what an “up&down” figure is, or a round, but without fearing that the dog will run away from the ring, or that any little handler will be pulled by his/her dog. They will be showing their toys – plush, on wheels, or various others.
TOY HANDLING will be open on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Every day at the same time, starting at 10:00 – till 10:30 in BIS ring. The presence of the parent is necessary due to the signing of the GDPR. Don’t forget to plan your visit our the final ring! Your applouse will fullfill with happiness the souls of the little participants!
Entry form: https://www.juniorhandling.sk – registration is FREE !!! The competition is supported by the entry fee from SENIOR HANDLING 18+, which you, dear parents, can participate in!
Who once fell in love with junior handling wants always come back to it. If you belong to ex junior handlers or you want to have fun in the show ring, Junior handling klub Slovensko has prepared this special activity for you.
We often say that the junior handlers are more skilled then the adults in the show rings. At our DOGFESTIVAL Veľká Ida shows it is time to show, that also the adults have talent and can show their dog on a high level.
SENIOR HANDLING 18+ is opened during all three show days for everyone over 18 years. It will be held in the Activity ring at 13:00. Entry fee is 10 € and the income will be used for financing Junior handling klub Slovakia – TOY HANDLING, what is free of charge for the youngest.
Show us what you got but mostly let’s have some fun. Our judges are very interesting.
