Dogs of the British Isles
Event Schedule
Laura Drotar, Chair

There is no better best friend,
none more loyal than a dog.  The Dogs
of the British Isles is an opportunity
to learn more about the various
breeds, their unique traits and
unbelievable abilities.  We encourage
breed specific rescue groups to
participate in the show with the hope of
better educating the fine ladies and
gentlemen at the festival about
each breed and our dream that
every dog finds its forever loving home.

Parade (Saturday Morning)
Only dogs registered with Longs Peak Scottish Irish Highland Festival will be allowed to march in the parade.  Each breed will be furnished a breed banner to carry.  Don't miss this fun event!.

Exhibit Booths
Booths will be available at no charge to invited, registered breed specific rescue groups.  Additional booth space may be available for rent, depending on our occupancy at a rate of: $200 per space.  Please contact Laura Drotar, Event Chair to inquire about available booth space LauraDrotar@gmail.com All booths include 3-3 day gate passes, and 6 dog entrance ribbons.  Booths must be set up by 9 am Friday morning, maintained and staffed until 5 pm Sunday evening (no exceptions). This booth area is specific to educating the public about your breed, with the main goal of adopting out available dogs in your care.  All booths will be given one 10 x 10 space inside a well protected, 60 x 60 tent along with (1) 8’ table and 2 chairs.  You will need to provide your own WHITE easy up tent.  All tables must be covered with a tablecloth, and booths must be decorated appropriately according to our rental agreement.  There will be booth awards for the best impression and presentation.

Animal Product/Service Retail Booths
This year we will be opening a new animal specific retail tent for vendors.  Products or services relating to animals will be welcome, this includes such areas as art, products, services, etc.  This is a jury approved area, and will allow you to reach a very large public audience.  Booth rental fees are $725 for a 10x10 space.  If you are interested please email: LauraDrotar@gmail.com for more details.

Terrier Races
These fun and energetic races are a great way to
watch what comes naturally to many of these breeds.
Each race is conducted in a straight long track, while
chasing a scented faux fox tail through a hay bail hole.
Two or three dogs of the same size can race against
each other.  This popular activity will be regularly
scheduled and posted on Friday, Saturday and
Sunday.  ALL dogs are welcome to participate, there
will be a mandatory sign up sheet near the race gate.

Herding Demonstrations (Mr. & Mrs. William Pickle)
The sheep are back!  This year Mr. Pickle and his talented, well trained dogs will demonstrate the skills of herding sheep.  This lively interactive demonstration will give the crowd an understanding of the training and dedication required to herd precisely on command. This amazing demonstration will be regularly scheduled and posted on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.  We can only hope Mr. Pickle brings his ducks as well!

Disk Dog Demonstrations
Back by popular demand, this high altitude demonstration shows everyone how the energy and natural ability of these dogs can be channeled into a fun and challenging activity for both the dog and their guardians.  These internationally renowned competitors, will demonstrate the leaps, jumps and tosses that can be taught to nearly every dog.  The most interesting point of this event is getting to see the talent of several dogs that came directly from animal shelters and were originally homeless!

Agility 
Please enjoy watching our new addition of the agility demonstration!  Including an individual course of jumps, dog walks, tunnels, and various obstacles for the dog, this is a fantastic event to really see the team work and trust between a dog and it’s guardian.  Once again, I am proud to announce that many of the dogs you will watch were also originally homeless and in shelters!

Grand March of Dogs
A musical presentation of the Dogs of the British Isles is scheduled for Saturday and Sunday on the Festival Field.  This is a terrific opportunity to view the various breeds as well as listen to the rainbow bridge poem for all of the beloved dogs who have passed before us.

Dog of the Festival
One dog will be awarded the “Dog of the Festival”.  In order for your dog to be eligible, they must participate in ALL of the following:  ALL Grand March of the Dogs, at least one attempt at agility, Sunday morning Fun Match, The Parade and at least one Terrier race.  The winner and their guardian will receive an award as well as a nice private photo-op!

Durward Dog Project
In 2011 we launched a new program hosting a specific dog rescue group.  The first year we sponsored: “Life Is Better Rescue” out of Denver.  Our success with this program was unmeasurable, 17 homeless animals originally slated for euthanasia were adopted into wonderful new homes!  In 2012 we are happy to announce the return of “Life Is Better Rescue”, and we look forward to seeing all of the Dogs of The British Isles breeds (perhaps cats and kittens too) that they will be in search of homes for.  If you are considering adopting a pet, perhaps the adoption of a “Durward Dog” might be right for you!  Our thanks to Dr. Durward for the creation of this festival and whom we are honored to name this program after.
