Why should I
come to the show?
To be entertained
The Reliant Park World Series of Dog Shows is one of the
best entertainment values around. For only $10, you can
spend an entire day admiring thousands of beautiful dogs,
shopping the vendor booths and enjoying such action-packed
events as Obedience, Flyball, Agility, Frisbee dogs, Canine
Musical Freestyle and more.
To be educated
Everything you want to know about buying, training and caring
for your dog is presented under one roof. You can also talk
face-to-face with experts on any dog-related topic and learn
about more than 80 different breeds at Meet the Breed.
To see top competitors
Many of the top-winning show dogs in the country representing
every breed recognized by the American Kennel Club will
attend the Reliant Park World Series of Dog Shows. Here’s
your chance to see rare breeds and extraordinarily well-trained
performance dogs.
When
should I come?
Thursday is an all-specialty show, meaning only Conformation
for certain breeds is held. However, Friday, Saturday and
Sunday all offer a full venue of activities and events,
so choose the day that is most convenient for you. You may
also purchase multi-day passes at a discount from Ticketmaster.
Where
should I park?
Park in the North Fannin Lot (Orange), which you can reach
from Fannin via the Holly Hall entrance. The parking fee
is $8 per day. To avoid this expense, we encourage you to
ride Metro Rail and get off at Holly Hall stop to reach
Reliant Center.
May
I bring my dog?
The competitions are only for dogs that have been pre-entered.
If you are coming to receive an ILP certificate, you must
bring the dog. You may also bring your dog for special
fittings of canine sportswear or collars. We do not
offer any "social" activities for family pets
so do not expect to find the equivalent of a dog park.
If you do bring your pet, we ask that he be at least 6 months
old; have all of the the proper vaccinations; and be under
control at all times.
Can I buy a
puppy at the show?
We do not allow dogs to be sold or adopted at the show.
We do encourage you to meet reputable breeders at Meet the
Breed or visit the numerous rescue societies and clubs and
make an appointment to either purchase or adopt a dog.
Are wheel chair
and scooter rentals available?
This year these rentals are not available on site. You
may contact Jim Marks at Wheelchair & Scooter Express
at 713-942-2522 for off-site rentals.
