Texas 4-H Dog Show and Dog Validation—DUE JANUARY 10
Texas 4-H Dog Show will be held on July 7-9, 2022 at the Montgomery County Fairgrounds in Conroe, Texas. To be
eligible for this show, dogs must be validated by January 10, 2022 in 4-H Online. Video instructions are also available at https://
youtu.be/3NzoIjK9Pco if that is more convenient. 2022 Texas 4-H Dog Show Rule Book will be posted https://texas4-
h.tamu.edu/projects/dog-care-training/ soon. There will be a new DOG OLYMPICS category!
We strongly encourage members to validate their dogs even if they are not sure they will be participating in the Texas
4-H Dog Show. Completing the FREE validation process before January 10th will give them until entries are due in May to make
a final decision.
As 4-H members complete their validation, here are some things to keep in mind:
• For purebred dogs (they do not have to be registered, just look purebred) you will select the correct Group/ list breed.
• For mixed breed dogs you will select the Weight Group of the dog and list the dominant breed along with the word “Mix”
or list the two breeds if known. (Example: Border Collie Mix or Mastiff/Great Dane.)
• Photos of the left and right side of the dog should be a side view of the whole dog. They should also be clear and light
enough we can see all markings and color of the dog. The dog should only be wearing a collar.
• Dogs MUST be validated each year. If you validated a dog last year, the information and photos will be in the system, but
you must still review and SUBMIT to validate for the 2021-2022 4-H year.
