Sacramento Valley Boxer Club

Have you ever wondered how dog show progression actually works? Many of you have eagerly watched TV coverage of the Westminster Dog Show, or the National Dog Show, but have you ever wondered how those dogs got to that carpeted, spotlit ring?

Jack Bradshaw Dog Show Superintendents listened! They created this simple flow chart to help guide you along the way from the first class of the day when 6 to 9 month old puppies enter the ring to the prestigious Best In Show.

✨ The Sacramento Valley Boxer Club invites you to join us!
If you love Boxers and want to connect with others who share that passion, learn more about the breed, and maybe even step into the world of dog sports we’d love to have you.

No experience necessary, just a love for the breed and a willingness to learn.

Spring News from SVBC.

Spring News from SVBC After attending a canine emergency seminar, I put together a first aid kit that included Elizabethan collars, bandages, eye wash, antibacterial ointment and contact information for the emergency vet. I was feeling pretty prepared, though, of course, I hoped that I’d never have to use any of it.
