The popular Inglewood Monday Night Markets dog show is back in March for a fun night out for dogs and owners.

Organisers of the markets are calling for dog owners with cute pooches to register for the free, fun event, which usually attracts around 25 dogs.
It will be held on Monday March 27 at 6.15pm in the Inglewood Town Square, in front of the Inglewood Library on the corner of Beaufort Street and 10th Avenue.
The crowd watches last year's dog show
Dog owners need to register their dogs by email with info@newtonganska.com.au listing the name, breed and age. All dogs must be on a leash. While some dog owners like to dress up their pooches, some have tricks to show off, others rely on their pet's natural charm.

The only requirements are for the dogs to be vaccinated and well-behaved. There is nothing too serious about the show and it doesn't pretend to be Crufts.
It's an opportunity to have some Monday night fun with their furry friends and at the same time grab something to eat from the dozens of vendors down both sides of Beaufort Street in Inglewood.

The parade is free to enter and there are prizes to be won. First prize is a voucher for 10kg of preservative and additive-free lamb and offal mince from human-grade beef, valued at $125 from Mondo Butchers; second prize of a matching outfit of choice for owner and pet from Rolas Pet Boutique; and third prize of a hamper of treats from Woof Meow Tweet Squeak – The Treat Truck.
There are always plenty of locals out for a walk with their dogs on Monday evenings as they enjoy the community atmosphere and pick up something to eat from the stall holder whose food reflects styles from around the world.
The markets operate every Monday through to the end of April running from Eighth Ave to Tenth Ave along Beaufort St in Inglewood.
