President Jose Haro de Haro (known as Pepe) was present to accept the twinning with Seville and Jerez and to receive the City's official shields. Mr King, said: "The aim of the twinning is to build closer relations with dog showing friends in mainland Europe, while Spanish judges will be able to assess more dogs in any breed here than they will have experienced in Spain."

The City of Birmingham dog show was originally founded by the city council in 1948 as a means of recreation for the community. It has grown to such a level that it is now held at the National Agricultural Centre and not in a park.
