The painted dogs, seated and standing, are 25 inches tall and highlight the work of regional artists. Each canine displays a unique, inventive personality bestowed upon them by the artist and are sure to delight dog enthusiasts of all ages! All Best in Show dogs carry plaques and are identified by name, the name of the artist and local business sponsor.
Various contests, dog themed theatrical and performance events are planned as part of Best in Show throughout the summer.
