Information

8 May, 2026                                      "Paws and Pals" Dog Showcase

Everyone who came out for the first Pals n Paws public event at Dotch Community Center had a great time. Several foster dogs found loving new families, plenty of helpful information was shared, and the highlight after the match was an adorable 5-month-old puppy showing just how trainable dogs can be with a little daily effort. The crowd went wild for the rollover trick!

A big thank you to Maureen, Telecia, and Jeannie for postponing their departure to the Perry, Georgia dog show after the fun match. The photo on the right was taken after they had left. 

 

The Gulf Coast Classic Dog Show 3-6 September, 2026

We look forward to seeing you at this year’s show, which features eight shows over four days.  We pride ourselves on our adaptability and commitment to excellence in every aspect of our service to you as an exhibitor.  We plan to establish six show rings inside the new indoor venue (Shrine Temple, Mobile Alabama).  The average annual temperature at 7AM on 3 September is 70 Degrees.  Although it is impossible to promise great weather,  we have been fortunate the last two years to have weather in the 70's and low 80's during the show here in Mobile Alabama.  

We are pleased to offer you early RV registration for our upcoming event from September 3–6, 2026.  You can receive a $25 discount by using the code "loved2025" at the following link: https://www.zeffy.com/en-US/ticketing/rv-reservation-gulf-coast-classic-dog-show. Please note that RV parking spaces are limited and available on a first-come, first-served basis. Each space includes at least water and 30 or 50 AMP electrical service.  Prior to checking out online,  please remember to select "Customize" to adjust your donation to Zeffy. If this is not updated manually, a $54 donation will be automatically added to your total amount due at checkout.   RV dry parking on the grass area adjacent to the exhibit hall is free.

Please be advised that limited indoor space for caging and grooming will be available immediately prior to each class and group event. However, due to limited space in the exhibit hall, all dogs and crates must be removed from the building following your scheduled showing time.  Additional Grooming will be set up under covered areas immediately outside the exhibit building.  By contract with the venue, we must lock up the building after each show, so dogs will not be allowed to stay in the building following the show each day.  Site security will be provided by the venue.

Ringside Vendors will have access to electricity to use if needed, please bring your own extension cords.  Vendors may use the roll up door to set up their stations the day prior to start of the show (2 September).    We look forward to seeing you there.
