Entries are CLOSED!

What an amazing entry across so many classes.

ON THE DAY:

AM CLASS: Pre-judging is at 8am so please arrive early enough to set up, have your before photo taken and your dog ready for pre-judging.

PM CLASS: Please arrive just prior to lunch and set up during the lunch break

CLEAN UP after your class, there will be plastic bags on each table so we ask please keep it as clean and tidy as possible so there is not hair everywhere at the end of the day.

SALLY BREAKS will be 10min

LUNCH will be 20-30min

There is a holding area just outside the ring for tables, dogs, crates etc

All dogs must be on lead and under effective control.

Advertisement of salons is absolutely more than ok on jackets, tables and even business cards to put on a communal table is more than welcome.

This is a public event so we will have general public, breeders, exhibitors and pet owners all coming to watch.

Main thing is HAVE FUN!!

Can’t wait to see you all Sunday.
