Auckland Pet Animal Expo 2013

Auckland Pet and Animal Expo 2103
ASB Showgrounds 28 September 2013

This week we step back into the archives to last year when I went to the Pet Expo.

This is an annual event held at the ASB Showgrounds in Auckland:

An interesting idea for a show to say the least but a good day out if you have small children.... well it might be a good day if your child doesn't get headbutted by a goat :) (which did actually happen to someones child).

Horses can be ridden for a cost, goats and pigs can be petted and fed and you can see animal entertainment such as sheep dogs or show dogs performing tricks.

Police dogs, tiny dogs, big dogs, cats, birds and many other kinds of animals are on show for the public.

Lots of products were available to buy for your pet and you could even purchase a pet if I remember correctly.

Still an unusual show.  One of the first shows I went to after arriving back in New Zealand and I was unsure what to expect. There was a camera shy owner of some cats... a strange thing when coming back from Korea where everyone is taking pictures either with their camera or smart phone... but this is New Zealand I guess.

Good if you have young children. Enough said. ^^

Here a few pictures and a video:

This weekend is the classic car show on at Ellerslie Race Course on the 9th of February. I will be there taking pictures of the Delorean and what ever else is on offer.

So all going well that will be the update next week! ^^

Until then have a great weekend and I will see you next time! ^^
