Advance™ Sydney Royal Dog Show

Sydney Royal Dog Show 2026

The Welsh Corgi Club of NSW is proud to be represented in the Working Dog Group at the ADVANCE™ Sydney Royal Dog Show, where both Welsh Cardigan Corgi and Welsh Pembroke Corgi compete at the highest level alongside Australia’s leading herding breeds.

The Corgi rings consistently reflect the depth of quality within the breeds, with strong entries across all classes — from promising young puppies through to accomplished champions.

The ADVANCE™ Sydney Royal Dog Show continues to be a benchmark event for exhibitors, showcasing the dedication, expertise and passion that underpin the future of Welsh Corgis in Australia.
