​Hounds of Distinction Class
The special class, Hounds of Distinction, will be accepting entries again for the 2026 Specialty. First introduced in 2024, Hounds of Distinction recognizes wolfhounds for the magical beings they are. No matter the accomplishment--therapy work, providing comfort to those in need, rally, scent work, agility, champion counter surfing, cuddling with you at home. . . your hound qualifies for this class. Our rescue hounds are especially encouraged to participate. Each hound will be introduced, a brief summary of what makes him or her special will be read, and each hound will be awarded a ribbon of distinction. This is your opportunity to shine a light on the wonderful, magical wolfhound(s) in your life! 

​

This class will be held immediately before BOB

​

Entry fee: $15.
