TAILS will be wagging in Malvern this weekend as the town hosts a regional canine show.

The West of England Ladies Kennel Society's annual championship dog show runs from Friday, April 29, to Sunday, May 1, at the town's Three Counties Showground.

Thousands of top dogs from Worcestershire will be competing against other leading canines from across the country and beyond.

The show has attracted a bumper entry of 9,746 dogs, which will all be competing for the highly-coveted Best in Show award.

The successful class winners from this year's show will qualify for Crufts 2006.
