General Info

  • The Denver Dog Show’s purpose is to celebrate mixed breed (i.e. non-purebred) dogs.

  •  Dogs will be separated into “weight classes.”

  •  Each class will have a winner and runner-up.

  •  There will also be an “overall” winner and runner-up.

  •  As this is for mixed-breed dogs, the Denver Dog Show is INFORMAL and there are no strict guidelines for our judges.  Raising awareness, raising money, and having FUN are the goals!

  •  The judging will be entirely subjective and will consist of appearance, personality, talent, and “it” factor!

  •  All proceeds will benefit local animal shelters.

  •  Other services during the show will include:

    • An adoption event

    • Shopping for merchandise to show your support

    • Food trucks

    • Donation acceptance

    • More to come!
