Does your dog dream of being a winning champ? Give them a paw up by entering this year’s SPCA Mutt of the Year Contest.
Categories include:
- Dog with the longest tail
- Animal/Owner look-alike (both looks & personality)
- Bark like a dog
- Best Pup and the prestigious title of Mutt of 2008
KUSA (Kennel Union of South Africa) and the SPCA board are judging this claw-biting event where only the top dog will reign supreme. So get up close and personal with the competitors as your cheer will certainly tip the scales.
"Mr Showbiz" Alvon Collison will lead the day’s events with songs, barks, howls and laughs!! There is also a Fete, tea garden and kids’ entertainment.
The most highly contested category is the Mutt of the Year. It is exclusively for mixed breeds, motley mutts and pavement specials. The other categories including Best Pup (4 to 12months) are open to pedigreed and mixed breeds.
Entries for Mutt & Pup @ R40/ dog. All other contests @R20/dog. Adults pay R20 entry and children R15 (parking is free). The Fete is open from 10h00 to 15h00 and is a full day of fun with bargain stalls, healthy food and plenty of fun for the kids. There are also great prizes to be won!
SPCA spokesperson, Cher Poznanovich says, "The annual Mutt of the Year contest is the only opportunity for mixed breeds to enter a dog competition. We want to encourage people to adopt animals from shelters – whom are often mixed bred dogs – and this day showcases these special animals. We hope to raise enough funds on the day to support our SPCA adoption programme."
Entry forms are available from most Cape Town vets, the Cape of Good Hope SPCA or on the SPCA website
