Toy dogs, working dogs, hounds, old dogs, young dogs, new tricks, fancy dress, couples and, my personal favourite, the dog with the waggiest tail!

If there wasn't a category for your dog then I'll eat my hat... no... wait... I think it's over there being chewed on by the Prettiest Bitch.

I'm not really a dog person myself, but managed not to get bitten or, worse still, licked... The dogshow was a roaring... er... barking success, with some very serious and some not-so-serious owners providing great entertainment.

Kitten proved that cats and dogs can get along just fine by providing some much-needed celebrity judgement for some of the novelty categories. Phil Starr also put in a few rounds as well as auctioning off that Choccywoccydoohdah (spelling, anyone?) dog which looked FAR too good to eat. Yum.

Although the rain held off, the wind sent a few people scurrying for their cars after their class had finished, which was a bit of a shame. Nevertheless we had a bloody fabulous afternoon. It's just SO Brighton, darling.

Thanks to all the Pride volunteers for staffing the event and making it another Pride day to remember! Hoorah!
