4rd Annual Nancy Ford Parade of Rescues, 2nd Annual Pet parade Descriptions: Parade of Rescues A celebration of the rescue of Boston Terriers
and their guardians from the Rescue Community. Dogs do NOT need to be
entered in a Regular Class. Each entrant/exhibitor will receive a
commemorative ribbon, and free Assiciate Membership in our club, if your entry is confirmed received. Pet Parade The Pet Parade offers pet Boston Terriers and
their handlers an opportunity for fun and confidence building for your
Boston Terrier, as an informal pageant similar to conformation showing,
in a real show ring (the same used earlier in the day for the formal
conformation showing. Applicable to both the Rescue and Pet Parades: Both
Parades are intended to invite those who
already love the Boston Terrier breed, into the world of dog shows,
giving you the opportunity to show off your wonderful companion, and
for your Boston Terrier to have a great time and socialize. All
entries must be purebred Boston Terriers. We realize that with some
rescues, or adopted dogs, this may be only to the best of your ability
to determine. All entries receive a ribbon if your entry is
received by the closing date. All paid entries receive a free Associate Membership in our club! No
prior experience showing dogs is needed to enter. The parades
are for informal fun! Instructions will be sent to you with your
confirmation of entry, and you will be guided at the show. Boston Terriers are very smart - they can tell
that they are being admired; that they and their kind are held in
high regard is obvious to them at a show. This is
a great confidence builder! Please feel free to have fun with this - we
welcome (but don't require) Boston Terriers in halloween costumes.
Junior handlers are also welcome. If you choose, you may also send us a
comment / blurb about your Boston Terrier that we will read as you
parade in
the ring. You may take pictures or video. Its a great way to build
happy family memories! Spectators WITHOUT their dogs may attend free
of charge. The AKC does not allow any dog that is not entered in an
event to come on to the fairgrounds. You may ONLY attend with your
Boston Terrier if that Boston Terrier is entered in our event. Entry fee per dog per Parade is: $15.00
(fifteen dollars). If a dog is both a rescue and a pet, that dog
may be entered in both Parades. AKC rules do not allow us to accept entries
from any dog that is not a Boston Terrier. We realize that for Rescue
Boston Terriers - whether the dog is 100% pure bred, may only be to the
best of your ability to judge. All dogs MUST be at least 6 months old, have a clean bill of health, and be up to date on all vaccinations. Any Club member working the show may refuse to allow any Pet Parade dog to particpate if it appears not to meet these requirements, or for any or no reason given. By submitting this entry form you acknowledge that you understand these terms and agree to hold The Golden Gate Boston Terrier Club, Inc., and its membership, Officiers, and Board of Directors harmless and not liable for any real or perceived loss or damage while attending our show.
