The San Marcos Lions Club will present it’s 2nd Annual CANINE CAPERS DOG SHOW Sunday, Oct. 12th at Walnut Grove Park- 1450 Sycamore Dr.,San Marcos,Ca. – from 9a.m. until noon. Last year’s event was a great success, in spite of the drizzle, with 65 dogs of all breeds and sizes competing – from pedigrees to loveable mutts. All enjoyed strutting their stuff across the stage! There will be 7 categories including: Most Beautiful; Dog with Unusual Markings; Dog with Best Trick; Adult with Cutest Dog; Child (under 12) with Cutest Dog; Dog in Best Costume and Most Look Alike Dog to Owner.

Trophies and ribbons will be presented at the decision of the judges who are local dignitaries. The fee to enter each category is $5.00 and yes, dogs can enter as many categories as they wish. There will be a variety of vendors booths selling everything from organic dog food and pet apparel to portraits on glass. Some of the dog rescue groups will be present, as well as the Sheriff’s K9 Unit. This is family fun at it’s best!!!!  Even if you don’t have a pet…come, sit down and watch the hilarious show. You never know what dogs are going to do. Last year’s Best Trick winner was a hound that sang – and on key!!!

Pre-registration is encouraged and entry applications can be picked up at Petco, Pet People, Kahoots or any vet in San Marcos, as well as most grooming parlors.
