“…Canine events can contribute to the development of event tourism in certain destinations. A well-planned and organized dog competition represents a serious event with a large number of visitors (Matejevic et al, 2014;2015). It could be of great cynologic, but also economic and tourist significance for the city and the country in which event is maintained.…”

A well-planned and organized dog competition is a serious event with a large number of visitors. It has great cynologic, but also economic and tourist importance for the city and the country in which it is organized. Seriously organized dog competitions with a large number of registered dogs and competitors, regardless of whether they are of national or international significance, bring together a large number of people, among them not only competitors, but also members of the organizing team, judges, trainees, volunteers, exhibitors, veterinarians, observers and others. Among the visitors, there are a large number of people traveling far from the place of residence to participate in these competitions. Canine events (competitions in the work and beauty of dogs) are characterized as specific, thematic, interactive and public events with sports-recreational, business and entertainment character. During these events dogs are classified in beauty or a certain type of work. As such, dog events can significantly contribute to the improvement of the tourism product of a certain area, as well as the entire touristic product of Serbia.

Segmenting target audiences can deliver increases in audiences attending events. An examination of segmentation research progress in the field is needed to assess the extent that researchers are capitalizing on available opportunities. Following the Tkaczynski and Rundle-Thiele framework, this article reviews 90 segmentation articles published from 2010 onwards to examine attendee profiling practices and to assess research practice change over time. Nine research issues have been proposed, which are subsequently discussed. Findings indicate an increase in geographic reach (e. g., Africa and Europe) and a continued dominant focus on on-site self-administered surveys as the data collection method. Both sample sizes and application of multivariate data analysis techniques have increased, and studies are largely employing the same segmentation bases and variables across the two research reviews. Recommendations for future research such as a need for larger sample sizes to warrant segmentation and a greater focus on external validation of segments are outlined.

A dog festival represents a form of pet tourism where attendees can celebrate dogs and be equipped with dog management skills. Despite dog festivals' growth across the globe, little is known about attendees' motivations to frequent these events. This study seeks to identify if attendees can be differentiated based on their motivations to frequent a dog festival and to determine whether segments can be distinguished based on their socio-demographics, origin, information sources utilised and post-festival evaluations. Through applying TwoStep cluster analysis across five DogFest® festivals in Southeast Queensland, two segments are identified. Learners are motivated to learn about dogs whereas celebrators are motivated for entertainment. Learners rated the post-festival higher and had a smaller household size. Dog education should remain the focus with social and other fun activities provided to attract dog owners who may not necessarily be thinking about training allowing attendees who are attracted by fun to learn.
