About this Event
NEED TO KNOW BEFORE YOU COME 🐾
Bringing your dog? Come prepared so you AND your dog can enjoy the day! ❤️🔥
Please bring the essentials — a secure collar, leash and crate, along with your dog’s food, bowls and anything else they may need throughout the day. We will have water available, but we highly recommend bringing your own supply. A gallon of water per dog is a great idea so you always have it on hand.
Come prepared for the weather, too! Shade tents, canopies, tarps and battery-powered fans are all great things to bring. Electricity will be available at the venue, but not directly around the show rings, so plan accordingly.
If you're bringing multiple dogs, purchasing a booth space is a GREAT idea. It gives you your own area to set up crates, chairs, supplies and dogs — and makes a pretty nice home base for the kids, too. 🐶👧🏽❤️
THE BEAST is a public, family-friendly event and EVERYONE is welcome! Please remember that there will be children, spectators and lots of other dogs around. Dogs must remain under control at all times and aggressive dogs are not permitted.
Come ready to spend the day! We’ll have music, vendors, food trucks, a bounce house for the kids and some Halloween fun, too. 🎃🎶🍔🐂

WANT TO SHOW? 🏆🐂
There is A LOT more to THE BEAST than one dog show!
We’ll have 27 Fun Show categories, with many of them open to ALL breeds — plus our Olde English Bulldogge Stack-Off & Show, and of course the main event…
THE BEAST. ❤️🔥🐂
THE BEAST competition is divided into 3 divisions by height, giving dogs of different sizes a chance to step into the ring and compete for MONSTER status.
We’ll also have 3 ABKC-sanctioned events throughout the day.
IMPORTANT: The ABKC-sanctioned shows are the ONLY events where registration papers are required. You do not need papers to participate in our Fun Show, Costume Contest, OEB Stack-Off or THE BEAST competitions.
If you'd like to compete in the ABKC shows and aren't sure how to enter, what your dog qualifies for, or what you need to bring, please reach out to us ASAP. We’re happy to point you in the right direction. 🔴⚫️
