Volunteer Information

To ensure a smooth and enjoyable event for everyone, we’re organizing morning and afternoon shifts, each lasting approximately 4 hours. Due to space limitations, each dog can be accompanied by up to 2 humans max.

To accurately represent the Brussels Griffon breed standard, all participating Griffs must meet AKC guidelines for coat color, coat type, weight, and other specific characteristics. While we truly adore and celebrate all Griffs, we are required to follow AKC rules to present the breed standard at the booth. If your Griff does not align with these guidelines due to coat color, coat type, size, or other variations, please know how much we still value them—it’s simply a matter of adhering to the event's requirements.

We are committed to creating an inclusive and welcoming environment that highlights the unique qualities of the breed, and your participation will help make this event a success!

Sign-Up Deadline

Please complete the sign-up form by January 1st, 2025. Slots are limited, and selections will be confirmed by January 7th, 2025.

Thank you for your love and dedication to Brussels Griffons. We are thrilled to bring our community together for this exciting event and hope to see you and your Griffs there!
