* ATTENTION * Online entries through our website!!!
Puppy Group judging will begin following regular Group judging in the same order. Regular Group judging will be conducted while Puppy Group judging occurs in another ring. Best Puppy in Show will precede regular Best In Show judging.

Best Veteran In Show will be judged before regular Best In Show.

There will be no Veteran Group Judging.

Judges are not required to wait for dogs. They will adhere as closely as possible to the judging schedule printed in this program. The owner or handler of each dog is solely responsible for having it ready at ringside when its class is to be judged. The show-giving Club and Superintendent have no obligation or responsibility for providing service through a public address system or stewards or runners for the purpose of calling or locating dogs that are not brought into the ring when required. Being an unbenched show, you need to be at show only in time for your judging and may leave any time after judging. Numbers before each Breed represent the number of dogs entered in (1) the regular dog classes; (2) regular bitch classes; (3) Specials Only, Best of Breed or Best of Variety Competition; and in (4) Non-Regular classes.

For your convenience, the following class divisions have been carefully tabulated; however, neither the Club nor the Superintendent assumes responsibility for absolute accuracy.

There are 157 Dogs entered in this show with a total of 233 entries along with 8 Dogs entered in Obedience with a total of 9 entries and 3 Dogs entered in Rally with a total of 5 entries.
