What do I need to know about participating in the 2025 state 4-H dog show?
How much does it cost?
The program fee is $25, plus $15 fee for each class entered.
Important news from the Minnesota 4-H Dog Project Development Committee:
- Every county with dog show participants must read the Minnesota 4-H Dog Project Development Committee (PDC) fundraiser information letter.
We need many volunteers to make the two-day state dog show run smoothly. Each county must provide responsible adult or youth leaders in grade seven or older to serve as ring stewards and other volunteers.
More detailed results are available from local 4-H staff.
