Join us for the Fourth Annual Great American Mutt Show coming in May 2010. Check back in January 2010 for exact date and time.

However, only mixed-breeds that have won an individual contest are eligible for the final "Great American Mutt Show Best in Show" title. A sampling of last year's contests are listed below.
