A fun dog show held in Felsted attracted a large number of entrants and has raised £1,550 for Battersea Dogs and Cats Home.

There were 16 categories ranging from waggiest tail to dog the judge would most like to take home.

For many entering the best fancy dress category, they had a costume for themselves as well as their dog.

First place winners from each category went into the final.
