Best in Show to be Selected at the Cotton Cluster Dog Shows

The Decatur Alabama Kennel Club and The Huntsville Kennel Club come together each November for the largest area dog shows licensed by the American Kennel Club (AKC). Set for November 10-13, 2011 at the Morgan County Celebration Arena located on Highway 67 East in Decatur, dogs ranging from puppy to the most experienced show dog compete for the best in show at the annual Cotton Cluster Dog Shows. Over 1,200 dogs from all over the United States registered and competed last year.

Shows are held daily and spectators are welcome to attend. On Thursday, the Huntsville Kennel Club will award a $2000 scholarship for Auburn University College of Veterinary Medicine to a student from northern Alabama.

Event organizers encourage anyone considering the purchase of a purebred dog to attend the Cotton Cluster Dog Show and talk to exhibitors about their breed. Admission is free. A small parking fee of $5 will be charged daily.
