Bichon Frise Top 20 – PAY ONLINE
Inaugural Bichon Frise Top 20
This event is a once-a-year celebration of the Bichon Frise. The Inaugural Top 20 Bichon Frise Invitational is an invitational competition where the top-ranked dogs in the breed points category from the previous year compete against one another.
The qualifying point period runs from January 1 through December 31 of each year. The Top 20 dogs are invited to participate in this prestigious black-tie event, designed to showcase the very best representatives of our breed in a unique and elegant format.
Judging is conducted by a panel of distinguished judges, selected by the owners of each entry through a secret ballot submitted prior to the event. The panel includes:
- A breeder judge
- A handler judge
- An all-around judge
We hope you will join us for an evening celebrating the achievements of these outstanding dogs. Brush off your sequins and tuxedos, and come support and cheer for your favorites and friends.
We look forward to celebrating with you.
