Fun Match information:

The fun match is open to members and non members to have a fun time to show your dog in the ring! Even if you have NEVER shown before or have a cavalier that is "just a pet" (aren't they all??) you can have a fun time and show in the ring!

Ever wondered what it would be like to show? You can have fun and learn here! We will award prizes and ribbons and rosettes!

Have an oldie seven years or older? Show them in the veteran class and vie for Best Veteran!! If you have an AKC major pointed cavalier, you can show them in the Match as "Exhibition Only". You cannot compete for Best in Match; however, we will be judging all the 'Exhibition Only" entries and select the "Best Exhibition Only"!

Fun Match judge is: Mr. Joshua Marshall (Forestcreek US)

Fun Match entries are $5 each class entered. 

Show off your handling skills as you are judged in our hilarious Balloon Dog competition! Grab your helium balloon dog and strut around the ring in a fun competition. Entry is $5 (covers cost of balloon dog that you keep).

We will also be holding heart & eye clinics with board certified specialists. The clinics will be held rain or shine as they will be indoors.
