The Irish Wolfhound Club of Canada is holding two shows in Mission on Friday and Saturday (Sept. 16 and 17) at Fraser River Heritage Park.

The BC regionals specialty show is taking place Friday, while the national speciality show is on Saturday. It’s the first time the shows have come to Mission.

International judges are in attendance from the United States and the United Kingdom.

They are looking for the best type, whether they adhere to the breed standards, the legs and length of body, and strength of neck.

The dog with 10 points becomes the Canadian champion.
