It will save you time on the day & help our planning enormously - THANK YOU!
If you'd like more than 1 of your dogs to take part in the Fancy Dress class so long as they are portraying the same fancy dress theme as an obvious pair/set (for example if it were Romeo & Juliet or Ant & Dec, The Beatles etc...) then the fee is £1 in total & they will be treated as a single entry. But if they are taking part just as say footballers or fairies or separate themes completely then it would be £1 for each dog & they’d be judged separately so either could win. If you have a query just get in touch for a more detailed explanation If you have a question or comment please get in touch |
