Every November, Discover Dogs attracts hundreds of different dog breeds and thousands of visitors. The annual event aims to bring almost forgotten breeds back to the public consciousness and enlighten people about the unique lifestyle requirements and characteristics of different dog breeds.

At a previous event, comedian Jimmy Carr paid a visit and fell in love with the English Toy Terrier, a breed native to this country but at risk of becoming extinct with worryingly low yearly puppy registrations. After finding out about the breed at Discover Dogs, Jimmy is now the loving owner of Ollie, a beautiful English Toy Terrier, a breed which generally only needs 30 minutes of exercise a day and thus fits well with his busy schedule.

Discover Dogs, sponsored by Eukanuba and Metro Bank is taking place at Earls Court on November 9th and 10th, featuring around 200 breeds, from the most popular to the vulnerable native breeds which are in danger of extinction, as well as interesting foreign breeds and everything in between.
