Crofton Dog Show

Free
The Crofton Dog Show and Dog Pie Eating Contest has Crofton Civic Association and Higgins and Friends Pet Sitting, LLC as a sponsor. In addition, it will be held in conjunction with the Higgins Pet Fair, which will take place at the Crofton Country Club from 11:00 am to 4:00 pm on October 5, 2024.
Every dog is invited to bring their owner to the Crofton Dog Show starting at 1:30 pm. Check-in starts at 1:00 pm and contestants are judged in the order of their arrival. Additionally, the judged event is fun and family friendly and kids are welcome to escort their dogs. Medals and prizes will be awarded for:
- Best of Show (overall winner behavior and grooming)
- Runner Up (overall behavior and grooming)
- Most Tricks
- Most Original Trick
- Best Costume
- Pet/Pet Owner Look Alike
- Simon Says (dogs will line up with their owners and perform eight common commands by Jill Weissenbach of Higgins and Friends Pet Sitting. The most obedient and responsive dog will win for their age bracket.)
Dog pie-eating contest
There will be small pies for dogs under 25lbs and standard size pies for dogs over 25lbs. Each category can only have nine dogs (so register early). Early eating will disqualify your dog. On the command “eat”, the dog that finishes their entire pie first is the winner. This will be a fast contest!
Participation in the contest is free for entrants. Contestants should reserve their place in the contest by completing the registration form here. We suggest registering early, but please register no later than October 3.
Terms of registration:
- All dogs must be on a leash and in control of their owners at all times.
- All dogs must be current on their rabies vaccinations and wear rabies vaccination tags on their collars or the owners must have proof of vaccination.
- Please don’t enter or bring aggressive dogs to the show.
- Owners are responsible for picking up any poop and disposing of it (bags and a garbage can will be on site).
