 <\/p>\n

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.\u00a0 Completing the FREE validation process before January 10th<\/sup> will give them until entries are due in May to make a final decision.<\/p>\n

As 4-H members complete their validation, here are some things to keep in mind:<\/p>\n

For purebred dogs (they do not have to be registered, just look purebred) you will select the correct Group and type in the breed of the dog in the box that says Breeder.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

For mixed breed dogs you will select the Weight Group of the dog and list the dominant breed along with the word \u201cMix\u201d or list the two breeds if known.\u00a0 (Example: Border Collie Mix or Mastiff\/Great Dane.)<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Photos of the left and right side of the dog should be a side view of the whole dog.\u00a0Get on the dog\u2019s level so they do not turn into top views.\u00a0 They should also be clear and light enough we can see all markings and color of the dog.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0The dog should only be wearing a collar.\u00a0 No sweaters, costumes, rain gear or anything that covers the dog\u2019s color and markings.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Dogs MUST be validated each year.\u00a0 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 2022-2023 4-H year.\u00a0 Please update the photos if the dog has changed significantly since last year.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

We do encourage you to validate any dogs that you are eligible to show.\u00a0 Situations may change through the year.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

When we send reminders directly to 4-H members enrolled in the 4-H Dog Project, we will tell them \u201cDO NOT to wait until the last day to complete your validation.\u00a0 It will be difficult for your County Extension Office to help you at 4:45 p.m. on the last day.\u00a0 If you are having trouble with 4-H Online, contact your local County Extension office.\u00a0 \u201c<\/p>\n
