Spartan Mid-Winter Match

This coming Sunday, Jan 11th is the Spartan Mid-Winter Match. A match is run much like a “real” show but the wins count for nothing more then bragging rights. The real purpose of a match is to gain experience for all involved. The judges are not yet official judges but rather are want-to be judges. The dogs shown are most often puppies or young dogs, or dogs that need experience. It is also good practice for handlers and owners. The atmosphere is more relaxed then a real show and the entry fee is only a fraction of what you would pay at a regular show.

ENTRY FEE $7 per entry (Jr. showmanship $4 as an additional class).
