We're less than 5 weeks away from October shows so we are calling on the dog community to help make the weekend a huge success! Let us know if you can help in any capacity 🙌🐾

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1wIKHn-4HcP49K5xHgMfiLBG8yGvPbxZSD5yyNWCUTeI/edit?usp=drivesdk

Drivers must not be an exhibitor or the immediate family member of an exhibitor.

There seem to be some questions &/or concerns regarding grooming space, we'd like to provide some clarification.

Please know that your feedback is valued and important, we will take into consideration all the feedback we have received from exhibitors

Complementary Space is Available!
We anticipate enough free space to accommodate anywhere from 15-20 exhibitors depending on how much space you need. If utilizing the Complementary Space please be mindful that others will want to utilize this space as well. Use only as much space as you need!

While the space is first come, first served, as a Thank You to our valued volunteers, priority will be given to those who assist with show setup Friday evening.
Please Note: ABSOLUTELY no exhibitor is to begin personal setup until Show Setup is COMPLETE. By Complete, we mean EVERYTHING must be done to start the show Saturday morning.

There is no power available to the Complementary Spaces, however if you only require power for a few minutes perhaps a friend who has a space with power will allow you to use theirs. You are also welcome to share the 8x10 space with another exhibitor.

By offering reserved grooming space it allows a more organized setup and helps to alleviate the chaos that ensues when doors open where exhibitors are scrambling to secure space/power.

With all that said, we understand the social aspect of dog shows as well and we will do our best to accommodate those who wish to set up next to one another. Please send us a message/email after entries close with your request.

Many are probably curious as to why the opening for October event has been delayed, we've had some behind the scene issues that needed sorting.
Now that it's sorted, we anticipate the PL to be posted to dogshow.ca VERY SOON, hopefully by the end of the day 🙌🙌

You will notice that the Closing Date is much earlier than usual, this is due to the turn around time required for our Customized Rosettes for Parade of Champions!

We are looking forward to an amazing weekend of dogs and friends, we hope you can join us!

PLEASE SHARE!! 🙌🙌

🐾 A Heartfelt Thank You from the Avalon Kennel Club! 🐾

We’d like to extend a huge thank you to everyone who donated to our recent food drive! Instead of a monetary admission fee, we asked for food donations, and our purebred dog community delivered in a big way. 💙

Thanks to your generosity, we were able to drop off a fantastic collection of food to St. Kevin’s Parish, where it will go a long way in helping those in need within our community!

The Dog Show Hangover is lingering...we hope you are all recovered from a fun filled weekend!

As many of you know these events would not be possible without hard working volunteers who make it all happen! So many great people made this past weekend a success, there is no way we can possibly list each person individually for fear of missing someone, you are all very important to us and we appreciate each of you beyond measure! Thank you!! 🙌🐾🫶

All in all it was a great weekend, but we do have a few important reminders that we will reiterate closer to our show in October!

It's imperative for All Exhibitors to read the Premium List as well as the Judging Schedule prior to the event...EXHIBITOR SETUP DOES NOT BEGIN UNTIL 7:00PM - We ask that you please respect that! We had exhibitors in the building securing power for grooming while the Canteen & Photographer were still setting up and had not yet secured power. Not to mention the volunteers who were lugging and transporting mats and equipment, working hard for over 2hrs to get things in place for our event only to turn around at 6:45pm to find other exhibitors who had not volunteered securing grooming....This is so unfair to those who are working their butts off for the club and the event!!

There was also an incident where DUCT TAPE was used on the gym floor, this could very well cause us to lose the only venue we currently have that will still allow us to host dog shows! The DUCT TAPE was covered by Painters Tape so it was not visible until after breakdown on Sunday. This required one of our hard working volunteers to get on all fours and spend at least 10-15 minutes carefully scraping the floor so as not to damage it. Thankfully it worked and there was no damage to the floor, but we may not be so lucky next time! As most of you are aware, this is THE ONLY venue that will allow any club to host a dog show!!

ONLY PAINTERS TAPE IS PERMITTED ON THE FLOOR! Duct Tape can be used to secure tarps to one another, but not to the floor!

Last but certainly not least, Huge Congratulations to all exhibitors this weekend, whether it was your first time in the ring, first time in breed/group, or first time in Best In Show you should all be very proud of yourselves and your dogs!

We hope to see you all in October for our shows and PARADE OF CHAMPIONS!! Details to follow, stay tuned! 🏆🏆🏆
