SEWE Weekend Extravaganza: A Wild Ride through Charleston's Outdoor Celebration
As the New Year unfolds and the holiday hustle winds down, our excitement ramps up for an annual mid-winter escape to Charleston, South Carolina for the Southeastern Wildlife Exposition (SEWE). It's not just an event; it's a celebration of the great outdoors, boasting fine art, live entertainment, and a plethora of special events. As we count down to SEWE 2024, taking place from February 16th to February 18th, we thought we would share some of the weekend’s can’t-miss events.

Dive into the action at Brittlebank Park as dogs of all kinds and skill levels compete in water-jumping extravaganzas! Catch the "waves" of competition throughout the day, culminating in finals on Sunday afternoon.
Wildrose British Labrador Demonstrations
This year’s demonstrations will focus on the “7 Habits of a Successful Gundog” through balanced training techniques.. These Labradors aren't just gundogs; they're adventure companions! Engage with the Labs, chat with trainers, and gather tips for unleashing the full potential of these incredible companions.
