What a sight that will be; a group of fabulous poodles with their razor-sharp intelligence and model good looks, sauntering past the giant orange Goodwoof hounds, ready to enjoy the ultimate dog’s day out with their family.
Poodles are held in high esteem on the Goodwood estate. The Duke of Richmond has very fond memories of one particular very special poodle.
He says, “When I was a child, my grandmother, Betty, had a huge black standard poodle called Bruno. Memories of playing with him remind me of my earliest days at Goodwood, so I’ve always had a soft spot for the breed. I’m very much looking forward to seeing a whole pack of poodles heralding the opening of another fun-filled weekend as we celebrate our love of dogs at Goodwoof this May.”
