& there will also be a best dressed contest for both male and female wiener dogs. Prizes will be given to all of the winners.
Other dogs are welcome to come watch. A water bowls/poop area will be clearly marked. We thank you in advance for cleaning up after your dog(s).
Divisions: There are three divisions - puppy (under 1 year of age), adult (one year of age or older) and senior (nine years of age and older).
Heats: Heats are organized according to division and the ages of the dogs in that division. Each heat will have a winner.
All heat winners advance to a semi-final.
