About this event
The European Puppy & Handler Contest returns to Antwerp during Beyond Darklands, which runs from 16 to 22 February 2027. The contest is the pup-specific part of the wider festival and brings contestants, supporters and community members together at Waagnatie Expo & Events.
Formerly known as Mr Puppy Europe, the contest now recognizes both pups and handlers. The exact contest time and application details are published separately from the festival schedule, so check the official contest and festival pages before booking travel.
A Beyond Darklands ticket may be required for the relevant programme. Confirm the final schedule, admission conditions and contestant registration directly with the organizers.
