📣 CANINE CARNIVAL ANNOUCEMENT 🎪

At BDS, we strive to bring our exhibitors the best events we can possibly offer with knowledgeable instructors, clear training criteria, a variety of locations, fun games, and above all, transparency.

🎡 While our Carnival was an indisputable success last year, this year is falling short of our expectations on multiple fronts. To maximize the value of the event to our exhibitors, vendors, and staff, we are consolidating this 2-day event into 1 day on Saturday, September 19, 2026.

On Saturday, we will be showcasing
👃🏻 Scent Work
🥏 AKC Fetch
🔎 Lost Item Recovery
🫎 Shed Hunt
🐁 Urban Locating
🐀 Trailing & Locating
👩‍⚖️ And hosting a mock trial!

🎟 We currently have 1 working spot available.
🙋‍♀️ We are still accepting signups for volunteers and vendors.
📧 Please email us at [email protected] if you are interested in any of these roles.

For those who have signed up, you should have received an email last night discussing the path forward. If you did not, then please reach out to us as soon as possible.

Our sport dogs aren’t the only ones that have to learn how to pivot 😉
