Hundreds of dog lovers watched man's best friends strut their stuff at a dog show at the Oasis.

Organised by the Swindon and District Canine Society, the show saw dog owners from across the area arrive at the leisure centre to show off their canine friends.

The show has been running annually for the past 20 years, and this year it attracted more than 500 people.

The society was formed in 1926 when a group of people came together for breeding and showing dogs.

It was then registered with the Kennel Club but was suspended during the Second World War.

After the war, enthusiasts came together and the society was reformed. It has been successfully running since, with the training section started in 1955.

In 2001 the society celebrated its 75th anniversary.

Pat Gregory, secretary of the society, said: "The show was hugely successful and everybody had a wonderful time."

The 2004 show will take place on February 28.
