This show is held bi-annually, with the last one being
held in 2017. That year approximately 40 dogs were
entered.
The announcer for the dog show will be Julian Keevil
and Ringmaster/Master of Ceremonies will be Hank Cox.
In 2017 Best in Show went to a Great Pyrenees named
Jenkins, owned by John Heldrich. In 2015 the winner was
Kipp, a golden retriever owned by Mike Giobbe.
Boca Grande canines of all sizes, breeds and pedigree
are welcome to enter and join in the frivolity. Please,
though: Well-behaved and socialized dogs only.
Registration forms for this historic island event can be
found at the Boca Grande Community Center,

The show will begin at 10 a.m. on Saturday, March 16
on the grounds of the Boca Grande Community Center.
Some seating will be available for spectators, so come
early if you want a good view.

Last year’s Best in Show went
to Jenkins, an 11-year-old
Pyrenees who lives with John
Heldrich.
He has since passed, but will
never be forgotten.
