Testimonials

  • Congratulations on a terrific event

    Thank you all for a great day out on Saturday . It’s brilliant to see how much Top Dogel has grown over the years . The event was so well run. Fabulous for our Main Beach Community to come together and celebrate with our furry friends.

    Tanya Greg and Alfy

  • 5 stars!

    We certainly appreciate that not every dog can make it to the finals. We will definitely still be there on Saturday to enjoy the fun of the event! And Milly-Molly will love having her little walk down the parade, she will think she is a superstar! And I look forward to watching the finals and cheering on the other dogs. It is such a wonderful event, well done to you and the team for organising this.”

    Many thanks, Fiona & Milly-Molly

  • 20/10 Day!!

    “Thanks Selena to you and your crew. Haydo had such a fun day yesterday….and he really enjoyed the build- up too.

    I asked him after the parade what he’d give the experience out of 10 and he said “I had so much fun Mum, I’d give it a 20”!

    BBQ the Sausage Dog

  • Laughter All Round!

    I wanted to pass on my thanks to yourself and the amazing Ray White team and the sponsors for organising last weeks Top Dogel.

    It is an event which brings community of all ages together and provides everyone with an opportunity to smile.

    This year my grandchildren joined with me and there was laughter all round. 

    The Ray White team were super efficient as always and it was great to see everyone supporting !!

    It is amazing to see how the event has grown from a few of us in the lane way waiting to twirl in front of the Greek Restaurant !! Gee I wish everyone’s super could grow like that !!

    Dudley and I do appreciate and recognize the huge effort of all involved.

    Thank you and all the best 

    Birgy and duds!  

  • Stall Holder - 5 Stars!

    Tail Mates is already looking forward to another successful day next year. We are excited to continue supporting this fantastic event and contributing to its ongoing success.

    Thank you once again for your support and for allowing us to participate.

  • Well Organised!

    Five Gold Stars for organising Top Dogel…what an amazing event!
