ENTRIES

HOUNDS OF DISTINCTION CLASS
The Special Class “Hounds of Distinction” will be accepting entries again, deadline to enter is April 2, 2025. This class was a wonderful success in 2024, with 11 entries. It was lovely to hear the different stories and anecdotes telling us the stories of these hounds. Once again the 2025 class is your opportunity to recognize your wolfhound for being the magical being he or she is.
No matter what you and your hound do - whether it’s therapy work, rally, scentwork,
agility, providing comfort to those in need, champion counter surfing or cuddling with
you at home - your hound qualifies for this class. All Rescues are also encouraged to
participate. Entry fee is only $15, and all entries will receive a ribbon. This
class will be held before BOB, we will introduce each hound and read a brief summary
of what makes that hound special.
SATURDAY CLUB PICNIC
Please join us at the show site, on Saturday April 19, 2025, for our Club picnic. More information forthcoming.
