6 organisations listed for Staffordshire, Derbyshire, the West and East Midlands · details as published on their sites, September 2026.
The Midlands is dog-show country: Crufts is held every year at the NEC Birmingham, putting a Deerhound owner in the West Midlands or further afield within reach of a national gathering of the breed under one roof. Beyond the show halls, the region runs from Staffordshire and Derbyshire’s hill country down through the West and East Midlands, giving a mix of parkland, farmland and rougher upland walking depending on how far north and west an owner is based.
Veterinary teaching in the region is centred on the University of Nottingham’s School of Veterinary Medicine and Science, based on the Sutton Bonington campus, which combines undergraduate training with clinical services for a range of species. Owners further from Nottingham can usually reach a referral centre within the wider Midlands without crossing into a neighbouring region, since the area is well served by general and specialist practices alike.
