First Annual Canine Couture at Bentley Scottsdale Polo Championships

Surrounded by beautiful white tents, and held under the backdrop of the McDowell Mountains on the Omni Scottsdale Polo Field at WestWorld, all breeds and sizes are allowed to enter. Canines, accompanied by their human companion will parade across the polo field, about 230 yards – in front of some 10,000 attendees. The posh pooches will be judged on overall appearance and fashionable presence. Contestants are encouraged to be creative, avant-garde and of course, fabulous. Prizes include $1,000 First Prize, $500 Second Prize and $250 Third Prize. Additional trophies for the top five. Following the show, attendees can meet the judges and Canine Couture winner at the Applewood Pet Resort and HALO Animal Rescue tents on the Main Promenade. Exact times TBD, and maybe pictures with the Westminster winner himself.
