WALKATHON CANINE CONTESTS

1. “Definitely a Diva” – You know who we’re talking about!! Is she your four-legged companion? The Diva-Dog is definitely spoiled, definitely prissy, and definitely the center of her world---and yours!! She goes to the dog park---but only to watch the other dogs!! She would NEVER allow her properly primped paws to touch the common grounds!
2. “The All-American Male” – When you seen him strutting down the street, there’s no question he is 100% pure beefcake! All the girl-dogs in the neighborhood and at the dog park are crazy about this smooth-barking hunk! 
3. Best Dog-Owner Look-Alikes – Has anyone ever told you that your dog is perfect for you? You both have that certain look about you. A pair of “bulldogs” or two svelt “greyhounds?”   Could we match up the two of you in a crowded dog park?
4. A Most Unlikely Pair - No doubt you’ve seen them. The muscle man walking his five-pound yorkie decked out with bows in hair. Or the svelt sophisticated socialite with her bulldog named Steve. Has anyone ever told you, ”I would never have thought you would have a dog like that!” If so, join us and hear what our judges think!
