Shropshire's Christmas Dachshund Extravaganza raises more than £7,000 for dog charities
More than £7,000 has been raised for dog charities through the return of a much-loved Christmas Dachsund event.
In all 1,493 dog owners and their four-legged friends attended the Christmas Dachshund Extravaganza at Alderford Lake, near Whitchurch, on Sunday (November 30) as the event returned for its fifth year.
Visitors enjoyed a scenic walk around the lake, browsed dog-themed stalls, met 'Santa Paws' and took part in a series of competitions that had tails wagging across the site.
Proceeds from ticket sales have once again supported Dedicated to Dachshunds with IVDD, a charity that provides equipment for dogs affected by intervertebral disc disease. Money raised through the event’s raffle will also go to Dachshund Rescue UK, which was represented on the day.
