Spotted, striped, tall, short, long haired and smooth, they were all on show at the Ruahine Kennel Association's two-day Dog Dayz show at the weekend.
"It was a brilliant show, despite Saturday's crap weather," association president Tim Delaney said.
"Sunday's weather was wonderful and we've had lots of comments from people saying it was worthwhile coming to Dannevirke for the show."
