Best Veteran Competition
This class celebrates and acknowledges the health, vitality, and enduring qualities of veteran dogs. The participants are judged based on the same breed standards as younger dogs, focusing on their conformation, movement, and overall condition. The goal is to honor and showcase the excellence and continued capabilities of senior dogs within their respective breeds.
