Next Top Dogel
Could your pup be The Next Top Dogel?
After a short break, we’re thrilled to welcome back Next Top Dogel 🐾
Formerly Main Beach’s Next Top Dogel, the event has been rebranded as Gold Coast’s Next Top Dogel and will debut at an exciting new location — Sanctuary Cove.
Set in a beautiful, spacious environment, Sanctuary Cove offers the perfect backdrop for a fun-filled, family-friendly day. While we know the new location may not be ideal for everyone, following our office restructure we’re excited to bring you an even bigger, better and more vibrant event — and to welcome plenty of new doggies to the competition!
All entrant images will be judged and narrowed down to a Top 6 in each category, who will then parade on the big day to vie for the coveted Next Top Dogel Crown at our parade event on 22nd August.
Let the strutting begin! 🐕✨
