Group winners then compete to determine the dog which is ultimately named BEST IN SHOW for the day's competition. The conformation shows are held in the main and lower levels of the Hall of Education.

Rescue Dog Parade
What is a RESCUED DOG? Come see the success stories of dogs whose lives may not have started out on the right paw, but who have found great homes and are at the top of their class. We're proud of these guys, and want you to meet them too. The PARADE OF RESCUE DOGS will be held Saturday from 12:00 to 1:00 in Center Ring.

Things to know before you go
1. Only dogs that are entered in the competition are allowed at the shows.
2. Dogs may not be bought, sold, or otherwise adopted at the shows.
3. Please be careful and watch your children. While our exhibitors take great efforts to make sure that their dogs behave, dogs can and do bite. Please keep an eye on your children, and make sure you get permission from the dog's owner before touching any dog.
4. Baby strollers are not allowed in the building. Remember, a baby stroller puts your baby's head at the tooth level of most dogs. That can be a very scary experience for both your baby and our dogs. So please, no baby strollers.
5. The show giving clubs, show superintendent, their agents, employees, etc., assume no responsibility for any loss, damage, or injury sustained, and further assume no responsibility for injury to children.
Attention Exhibitors! These are large shows. Please plan to arrive early to be ready for your ring time. While every breed is different, you should try to arrive at least an hour before your scheduled ring time. Thank you!
