#3 HOW IS MY DOG SCORED AND HOW DOES THE COMPETITION WORK?

​

Your dog will walk for a panel of judges on February 22 at the Swamp Rabbits Game. They are scored on behavior, walk, presentation and overall appearance. Fashion is a vital part in the overall appearance score. Think couture and get creative. Outfits should be all things floral for, "Fashion in Bloom" and our "Pupchella" theme.  Scores will be tabulated on February 22 and the 12 finalists will take the ice during the first intermission. The crowd will help determine our 2024 Top Dogue winner.  The 12 finalists will strut their stuff on the Greenville Fashion Week runway on Friday, April 5th. There will also be a rehearsal on the evening of April 4th.
