|
| These are the contest categories from 2010
Best Costume
12:00-12:15 p.m.
“What good is owning a dog if you can’t dress it up?” This is the chance for your pooch to “strut the runway” in their favorite outfit. Get creative – you know how it is in the world of pet fashion: One day, you’re in; the next day, you’re out!
|
| Best Celebrity/Pet Owner Look-alike
12:15-12:30 p.m.
Does your dog look like a celebrity or famous person? Does your dog look just like you? If the answer is “yes,” then enter this fun category. If you want to go all out, dress yourselves both up like a famous duo - Dorothy and Toto? Scooby and Shaggy? Bart Simpson and Santa’s Little Helper? (The winner in the photo is Doggy Parton.)
|
| Best Distance Catcher
12:30-12:45 p.m.
The way this contest works, you, your dog and fellow competitors will line up across from each other at a fixed distance, and you will toss your pet their favorite toy, or a tennis ball or other item to be provided. Each elimination round, the distance between you and your pet will be increased until a winner is declared.
|
| Highest Jumper
12:45-1:00 p.m.
Let’s see them dogs’ a leapin’! You can use a favorite toy to draw their nose and hind paws as high in the sky as they’ll go.
|
| Best Kisser
1:00-1:15 p.m.
Does your dog have the suave approach of a Casanova, or that huggy, overly affectionate out-of-town aunt you only see at 10-year family reunions? Pucker up.
|
| Best Voice
1:15-1:30 p.m.
This category should “speak” for itself. We’re looking for that special bark, howl or musical number.
|
| Biggest Dog
1:30-1:45 p.m.
The next Clifford the Big Red Dog, or Marmaduke? No talent necessary in this contest. If you inherited the "big dog" gene, you're in the running!
|
| Smallest Dog
1:45-2:00 p.m.
If your dog can fit in a purse, you may have this contest in the bag!
|
| Wackiest Pet Trick
2:00-2:15 p.m.
Is your pet’s trick wacky enough to wow the judges and audience?
|
| Fastest Hurdle Dog
2:15-2:30 p.m.
Direct your dog to high-tail it a pre-determined distance, and jump a couple hurdles before crossing the finish line.
