Crofton’s 10th Annual Dog Show and Dog Pie Eating Contest sponsored by Crofton Civic Association will be held in conjunction with the Greater Crofton Chamber of Commerce’s Festival of Green, which will take place at the Crofton Country Club from 10:00 AM to 3:00 PM on Saturday, September 27th, 2025.
Every dog is invited to bring its owner to the 10th Crofton Annual Dog Show, starting at 11:30 AM. Check-in will begin at 11:00 AM, and contestants will be judged in the order of their arrival. The judged event is fun and family-friendly, and kids are welcome to escort their dogs. Medals and prizes will be awarded for:
• Best of Show (overall winner, behavior, and grooming)
• Runner Up (overall behavior and grooming)
• Most Tricks
• Most Original Trick
• Best Costume
• Pet/ Pet Owner Look Alike
• Simon Says (Dogs will line up with their owners and be asked to perform standard commands by Joy Hutter of the GCCC. The most obedient and responsive dog will win for their age bracket.)
There will also be a dog pie-eating contest -- Puppylicious Gourmet will be providing small pumpkin pies for dogs under 25 pounds and standard-size pumpkin pies for dogs over 25 pounds. This contest is limited to eight dogs in each category (so register early). Early eating will disqualify your dog. On the command “Eat,” the dog that finishes their entire pie first is the winner. This will be a fast contest!
A “Top Dog” trophy will be awarded at the end of the show by the judges. This will go to the dog that is simply the most impressive!
Participation in the contest is free for entrants. Contestants should reserve their place in the contest by completing the registration form. We suggest registering early, but please register no later than September 24th.
