2024 Dog Show Dates
July 26, 2024
Who Can Participate?
Any youth participant age 5-18 years old as of January 1, 2024 that is enrolled in the Steuben County 4-H Program. Members must be reenrolled by December 19, 2023 and new 4-H members must be enrolled by May 1, 2024 to be eligible to enter your dog or other projects in the 4-H division of the 2024 4-H Showcase. Participants should be prepared to clean up after their dog as necessary.
Those 4-H members and dogs attending the NYS 4-H Dog Show must participate in the Steuben County 4-H Showcase Show.
All dogs must conform to the rules and regulations of the Livestock Health requirements as determined by the Department of Agriculture and Markets. Dogs must have current vaccinations for rabies, distemper, hepatitis, parvovirus and leptospirosis (as appropriate for their age). It is highly recommended to also have your dog vaccinated for Bordetella and parainfluenza virus. Participants should consult their veterinarian for further information about these vaccines as well as internal and external parasite control programs. Participating members need to provide a COPY of current vaccinations at the first class.
This is a great opportunity to have fun with your dog and learn about being a responsible dog owner. If you are interested in more information about dog obedience Michelle's contact information is at the bottom of this page.
