Where Any Dog Can Compete

The doggie doors have opened for the mixed breeds of the world, and any dog from a Labradoodle to a German Shepherd Chihuahua mix to a "Heinz 57" can compete in a dog show, and proudly display a CHbefore his or her name.

Mixed breed dog shows are not for breeding dogs!

Mixed breed dog shows have one strict rule that is the polar opposite of traditional dog shows. All dogs must be spayed or neutered, and have proof, to register. The MBDCA does not host dog shows for the purpose of breeding of mixes, but strongly promotes responsible pet ownership.

Mixed breed dog shows are a great way to spend time with your dog

Many people who show their dogs in mixed breed dog shows, and end up with a champion, just got into the training so they'd have something to do with their dogs. They have the time and the energy, and a dog they really love, and find that working to earn titles is a very enjoyable and rewarding activity. It also makes the dog more loveable to be around. Others adopt a dog and find that he has an awful lot of energy, and needs an outlet for it.
