A point show is for dogs that are 6 months of age or older. There are classes ranging from puppy to veterans. Some of the classes will compete for points towards Championships, others are for dogs that are already Champions and some are just for fun. Entries are made by pre-entry ONLY and the date the entries close is generally 3 weeks prior to the show. The entries are generally much larger at point shows than at match shows and point shows will draw exhibitors from many of the surrounding states and occasionally from other parts of the country as well.

Please note that the Ramada Inn has changed it's policy with regard to allowing dogs. They will continue to allow the exhibitors at dog clubs that have used them in the past to bring dogs, but will not take drop-in's with dogs. So you must inform the hotel that you are with our show and that you will be bringing dogs.
