2023 Sportsman Show

The retrievers are coming back at the 2023 Toronto Sportsmen’s Show!!

This year there will be daily retriever demonstrations - morning and afternoon - as well as a retriever trial later in the day (exact times to be determined). A final trial will be held on the Sunday afternoon with the top two dogs from each of the Thursday thru Saturday competitions to be "Top Dog".

There will be dog handlers, trainers and retriever club members available thru out the days to answer your questions or help you find a club to join.

The show will take place Thursday March 16 to Sunday March 19th, 2023 at the International Centre in Mississauga (by the airport).

Hope to see you there!

I have never been to the sports man show. Are you allowed to walk around with your dog?

Thanks for posting that Dakota Creek. Glad to see it's back.

PS I don't know sabmgb. Seems highly unlikely to me but.....

Good to hear the retrievers are coming back to the show. I will be going to show for sure.

So it's a demonstration and not a competition?

Good demos, very large audience to support the program on opening morning..

To say the youngsters are enjoying running and meeting the dogs during our morning and afternoon demo's would certainly be an understatement!
