The 2006 Dog Show is a great opportunity for 4-H members. It will provide youth who have participated in a dog project an opportunity to compete in a larger show that includes Showmanship, Obedience, Fun Standard & Jumper Agility, Costume, and Poster classes. If you have youth who would like to enter, please complete the new registration form that can be found at: http://www.ext.vt.edu/resources/4h/companimal/statedogshow.html
The theme will be “A Dog Gone Good Time.” The general information packet has been revised and simplified; please review and have your volunteer leaders and parents review for changed content. The completion of a project record book is still required for each participant. Agents are asked to check the project book before it is turned in at the show. They will be reviewed & returned.
Camping will not be provided this year, however several hotels are available in Chesterfield area that allow pets. Please call for rates (government rates with Virginia Tech – VCE – 4H) and availability.
