How to Enter Your Dog in the Nuts for Mutts Dog Show

Do you think mutts don't have what it takes? If you answered "yes" -- you're sadly mistaken. The Nuts for Mutts dog show and pet fair will surely put that thought to rest. In this yearly competition held each spring, which basically says "In your face, Westminster"-mixed breed dogs get to show what they're made of in categories like "Best Kisser," "Best Smile," and "Best Wag." All proceeds benefit New Leash on Life, a Los Angeles organization that rescues and rehabilitates homeless pets. So, if you have a mixed breed dog that plays well with others -- and is a show off to boot -- what are you waiting for?
