Unleash your inner artist!
Participants will have three hours to perfect their finish and break the rules of parallel lines and grooming for the show ring by adding volume and flair beyond the breed profile. Our panel of renowned judges will be looking for flashy, well-executed grooms with profiles in decals and cartoon depictions, bigger heads, flared legs, more contours, and flashy, eye-catching style.
