SPONSORS The event is produced by Justin Rudd/Haute Dogs and benefits Rudd's nonprofit 501c3 Community Action Team (CAT), which includes Haute Dogs and Operation Santa Paws, as well as beach cleanups, spelling bees, art contests, photography events and more.Co-sponsors include Councilwoman Suzie Prize, the Port of Long Beach, and EDCO.



JUDGING CRITERIA

The dogs will be evaluated on personality, charm, face, figure, and first impression. This is a contest where gender is no limitation and good looks is no advantage. Costumes are optional, and not encouraged. We know that most dogs are so adorable that they shouldn't be covered up!



ON-SITE VET

The official on-site vet for the Bulldog Beauty Contest and Haute Dogs contests will again be Dr. Greg Perrault from Cats & Dogs Animal Hospital.

Rent seats at the event with cash. The dog adoption and vendor fairs are 9:30-2:30 p.m.



Contestants ranging in age from four months to 17 years are expected to again travel to Long Beach to compete for the coveted titles.



Costumes are NOT recommended for the bulldog contest. Organizers realize that most dogs are so adorable that they shouldn't be covered up! We don't recommend outfits, since these dogs can overheat easily.



The dogs will parade down a grassy runway that includes a 60-ft. red carpet runway, flanked by hundreds of gawkers and a panel of real-life beauty queen judges. Judging is based on charm, first impression, face, figure and personality.



NOTE: Each contest’s winners are announced right after each contest -- within about 5 minutes of the finish of each. Dogs encouraged to enter multiple contests at no additional charge.
