In
addition to the Texas 4-H Dog Show registration available to certified
dogs, there is also a 2014 Auxiliary Texas Dog Show registration
system. This is available to those who want to enter the photography
contest, project leaders who want to order t-shirts and sign up to help
and for 4-H members who want to enter the new Foster/Family Dog
program. They will enter these by going through the 2014 Auxiliary
Texas Dog Show Registration in 4-H Connect.
Since
the Foster/Family Dog Competition is new, the rules are included in
this e-mail. In addition to fostering a dog, if you have recently
adopted a dog or discovered 4-H this is an opportunity to get some show
experience.

New: Foster/Family Dog Competition Rules
Dogs
with home environment experience that are well mannered are more
adoptable. Some families may not be able to make a long term commitment
to dog ownership. In an effort to promote and encourage 4-H members to
participate in this service learning project, the Foster/Family Dog
program was developed. Patterned after other states programs, it offers
the opportunity to showcase some of the community service projects 4-H
members have been doing allowing more members to participate.
1. Subject to the Texas 4-H Dog Show Rules EXCEPT ownership/certification guidelines.
2. Handler and dog team is only eligible for the Foster/Family Dog program for one year. A dog that has been previously certified is not eligible for the Foster/Family Dog program.
3. Classes open to Foster/Family Dog include score sheet classes Costume, Tricks, Obedience, Rally and Canine Good Citizenship.
4. Foster/Family dogs will be awarded on the Danish System of Blue, Red and White ribbons.
5. An exhibitor that has previously shown at the Texas 4-H Dog Show may participate in the Foster/Family Dog Competition
with a foster dog. However, they must show in Obedience and Rally
classes befitting the dog/ handler team’s experience. No lower than
Obedience Pre-Novice B or Rally Novice B.
For details of Costume, Tricks, Obedience and Rally, refer to those events in rulebook. More information here: https://texas4-h.tamu.edu/dogshow
