Walker County Hosts State 4-H Dog Show
These exhibitors were competing in the costume contest.
By Wade Thibodeaux The Walker County 4-H hosted the State 4-H Dog Show last weekend at the Walker County Fairgrounds in Huntsville, Texas. Students and their canine companions competed in various events from
a costume contest to obedience training and skills. The events began Friday, July 9, 2021 with a conformation judging followed by showmanship, tricks, scent work, and a little fun with a costume contest where the dogs were
judged on their costume. An agility workshop was held to close out Friday’s activities. Saturday’s judging included a rally class, an obedience contest, and a challenge called drill in which the activities could be traditional or
freestyle. Some of the contests were divided by the age of the exhibitor and some were divided by the age/experience of the dog. An awards program closed out the event.
