DOGS from across the country descended on the region to celebrate a canine society's anniversary.
The Stockton and District Canine Society held the show on Saturday to commemorate its diamond anniversary.
More than 250 dogs took part in the event, at Hurworth Community Centre, near Darlington, and there were several categories.
The committee said it was delighted with the show, and extended its thanks to everyone who had been involved in the society.
Committee member Ann Fobbitt, whose daughter is also a member, and whose six-year-old grandson will soon join, said: "It was a lovely show, everybody was thrilled to bits with the venue and the turnout. It was a happy day, very successful."
