 Here is your chance to win a gold medal for you and your dog!
Have you always wanted to participate in a dog show with your best friend but could not because of his mixed parentage? Don't miss your chance to prove that your often-overlooked mutt is a champion too! Dogs of all ages, sizes and abilities have a chance to go for the gold!
Now, you might be saying - how can old Fred or Ginger win, when they can't keep up with the puppies? Or you might be thinking - my dog can't win because he hasn't been trained in agility. Well, don't worry! Check out these doggie sporting events and just like the Olympics, there will be gold, silver and bronze medals awarded to the 1st, 2nd and 3rd place winners for each competition.
Get your handler’s fee waived by pre-registering!
