You know … everybody’s crazy ‘bout a sharp dressed pet! So while you and your special BFF (Best Furry Friend) are checking out all the fun at the Horse and Hound Wine Festival, be sure to stop by the All-American Mutt Rescue booth and enter the Sharp Dressed Pet Contest. We’ll provide articles of clothing for you to dress your pet, then we’ll take a photo of your sharp dressed pet, and during the Daredevil Dogs and Divas Contest at 3:30, the judges will also pick the top Sharp Dressed Pet for 2019! We will have hats, sunglasses, t-shirts, shorts, tank tops, swimwear and more for you to pick from. Oh … and did we mention that you will have 2 minutes to dress your pet?
You can find the All-American Mutt Rescue booth on the back row of vendors, close to the horse ring! Stop by and join the fun! And be sure to enter your talented pet in the Daredevil Dogs and Divas contest too!
Various Dog Contests
2:45 Pm
We’re looking for pets that can dance, beg, shake hands, catch a Frisbee, play dead, smile, speak, sing, take a bow, or do something really amazing. Can your pet do a single trick or do an entire dance routine?
We want to see athletic tricks, entertaining tricks, and tricks that make you go “WOW”.
There will be Frisbees and tennis balls available but feel free to bring your own props for performances. Do you and your pet share the same fashion sense and dress alike for special occasions, holidays, or parades? Strut your stuff!!! Bring your best tricks, costumes, and talents and show off a little! There will be impartial judges who recognize style and talent and who may or may not be influenced by crowd reaction.
