DOGS OF THE BRITISH ISLES
There are many different breeds of dogs that originated in Britain, each with their own unique characteristics and history. Join us at the festival to help show off our furry wee friends! If you have an informational display about your dog’s breed, like where they originate from, things they were bred to do (hunting rodents, retrieving waterfowl, etc.) temperament, maybe the breed was featured in a book or movie? Please create a nice looking display about your dogs. Festival attendees love learning about the Dogs of the British Isles!

Important Notes:
Only registered service dogs and dogs of the British Isles are allowed on Festival Grounds.
This includes dogs of those participating in the Colorado Scottish Festival (Dogs of the British Isles Area, Athletes, Clans, Dancers, etc.) We ask that participants who will not be part of the Dogs Tents Area register, so we know how many ribbons to order.
​
There is no shade at the Denver Polo club. You will be responsible for bringing your own tent/ awning / with or without sides to the festival, along with any tables or chairs you might need. Bring supplies to keep your dog cool, happy, and leashed. There will be drinking water for dogs in baby pools with iced water around the grounds, but please plan on bringing water for your dog just in case.
For the safety of our volunteers and attendees, we require that dogs of ill-temper, not socialized, and those that show aggression towards other dogs and/ or humans be left at home. If a dog is aggressive, we reserve the right to ask (tell) you to take the dog home. All dogs must be in good health and current on all vaccinations.
