Specialty judging will begin at 10:00 a.m. under judge Col. Joe B. Purkhiser, who will have 71 dogs to evaluate in the ring.
Responsible Dog Ownership Day

Educational literature will be available, along with pet fire safety window clings and children's coloring books.
Fundraising for Boxer Rescue
The Michigan Boxer Club will provide complimentary coffee and pastries on Friday morning, with donations appreciated. Throughout the day the Club will sell tickets for a basket raffle, the winners of which will be drawn shortly following the completion of Best of Breed judging.
