Special Notice:
BEST DRESSED BOOTH DISPLAY
Once again the Rare Breed Club of South Western Ontario is pleased to provide the exhibitors at the 2010 shows an opportunity to “dress up” their booth space and compete for Best Dressed Booth sponsored by our site host Toronto Sportsman’s Show.
Exhibitors will compete for the Top five placements as judged by the personal from the Sportsman Show. Booths will be judged as follows:
EDUCATION
Do they tell about their breed history? What were they bred for? How much grooming is required? How much exercise do they require? How much training do they require?
Education on dog ownership – are they being self promoting or are they promoting responsible dog ownership overall?
REPRESENTATIVES
Are there representatives of the breed present? Are there puppies as well as adults? Can the general public see the dogs easily?
OVER ALL IMPRESSION
Over all eye appeal of their presentation – Do you get a “sense” of what this breed is all about? Are there photos used to display the dogs not only as “show’ dogs but doing what they were bred for? Is there a good use of color? Does the overall appearance make you want to learn more about this breed?
There is no fee for this event and all exhibitors are encouraged to provide as much information as they can to help educate the general public on the various breeds represented at our shows.
Good Luck to all.
Molosser Stefan Sinko

CRATE QUEST
For Crate Rental Contact Val Toth at lesvalt@hotmail.com. She has all sizes of crates and exercise pens that she will rent to you for the duration of the show. None of these are expensive, but they may help you to have a great time at the show. Your dog will remain calm and contained all the time that you are waiting for your turn in the ring. Show areas are better if all dogs are crated, or in a pen.
