Do you have a rescue Ridgeback? Do you love to show off your best friend? If so, you’re in luck! This year’s National Ridgeback Specialty will be held in Ocala, FL. On Thursday evening, October 23rd, the event will feature the Top 25 Ridgebacks in the country, as well as the rescue champions of your heart. That evening, they’ll all strut their stuff around the ring.
There is no cost to participate in the Rescue Parade, and each dog that participates will receive a ribbon and a medallion. Procrastination may be an art, but space is limited, so don’t wait too long to secure your spot.
To sign up, or if you have any questions, please email [email protected].
*all entrants OVER 12 months of age must be spayed or neutered, at the time of entry submission.
**Any dog adopted as a Ridgeback and/or Ridgeback mix from one of the seven recognized breed specific rescues may enter. Dogs adopted from a shelter must be purebred (if ridgeless with proof) or permanently ridged, if a mix.
