are you the guardian of an ultimate dog?

would you like to learn a bit more about topics like canine nutrition and canine rescue?  watch and participate in demos like agility and scent work?  and take a leisurely walk along the trails across 25 acres of gorgeous grounds?  well, then, if you don’t already have PoochPalooza marked down on your calendar this weekend, you need to make some fast adjustments.

you can find more information about this new and fabulous event on the PoochPalooza website, directions, schedule of seminars and demos.  here are just a few highlights …

first, there’s the vendors … dog-related booths to visit and with dog-products and experienced vendors to connect and chat with.

then there are the stunning grounds of the Caledon Inn with its groomed trails on which to take Rover for walk …

then there are rescue groups to visit, and i’ve heard that there are going to be adoptables in attendance!  so if you’ve been toying with the idea of adding a new member to the family, you might just find them here!

of course, like any fine, upstanding dog festival, there are contests … the Ultimate Talking Dog and Ultimate Dog Trick.

there’s food and drink!   the entire grounds of the Caledon Inn is licensced, so while you’re enjoying the vendor areas or watching a demo, and while Rover is enjoying all the treats and handouts, you can indulge a little yourself with some beer or wine … and there will be lots of fresh food made daily.  Rover shouldn’t be the only one bringing his appetite when coming to PoochPalooza!

and if that isn’t enough … there are swag bags for you … AND two door prizes to be won — one for each day, with the draw being held at 5 p.m.   these are h-u-g-e door prizes, worth $750 each!  and you and your ultimate dog could win one of these just for attending!  these door prizes consist of:

scruffy dog photography gift certificate

a dog bed

brooming gift certificate to Bryson’s

Benny Bully’s super bulk pack

Northern Biscuit treat pack (we’re talking a LOT of biscuits!)

Creemore Springs beer pack

Cuz Dog toyz (who can resist a Cuz?),

and much more!!!

all of that, and attendance is FREE with a $2 donation to Newf Friends and Project Jessie.

so … is PoochPalooza on your calendar yet?

hope we’ll see you there.  scruffy dog will be in the big main tent.  we’d love to see you!
