Muttminster Dog Show

Muttminster is the dog show for all dogs- large, small, athletic, talented, an unconventional beauty, or a rising star! Dogs can enter various competitions like “Most like their Owner”, “Best Fashion”, “Smallest Dog”, and more! Guests can expect vendors and booths full of supplies, treats, and activities for owners and their dogs! The event will end with a ticketed performance by Puppy Pals, as seen on America’s Got Talent!

Dog Show

$10 per dog | FREE for attendees

The Dog Show will feature 10 exciting categories plus a People's Choice Award!  You can enter your doggy star in up to three categories.

1. Most like their Owner - Awarded to the favorite human and dog lookalike pair.

2. Ugliest Cutest - This gives the underdogs a chance to shine!

3. Unique Grooming -Mohawk? Mullet? Mystery? If your pup’s haircut turns heads (and maybe raises eyebrows), this is your moment.

4. Best Trick - Show us what your dog’s got, the best trick wins!

5. Fashionista - Strut your fluff! From bow ties to tutus, we’re looking for runway-ready pups with paw-some style.

6. Pup-and-Coming Star - Tiny paws, big dreams. This category celebrates our puppy prodigies under 1 year old.

7. Big and Small - From pocket-sized pooches to gentle giants, this category crowns the extremes.

8. Fastest Fetch - Zoomies with a purpose, who will be first to retrieve an object?

9. Doggy Dash - Does your dog have the best speed and focus? It’s a race to the finish, may the fastest dog win!

10. Golden Oldie - This one’s for the wise old-timers who’ve still got it. You are sure to be charmed!

11. People’s Choice - Favorite dog, voted on by the people

    Winners: 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place ribbons will be awarded.
