About the Top 20 Showcase
Please join us for our 2020 Top 20 Showcase to see our incredible Silkys at their very best! Their beauty, structure, movement, temperament and breeding will be judged by an AKC Judge, a Breeder Judge and a Handler Judge to determine who will be the Silky Terrier Club of America Top 20 Winner and Top 20 Bred-by Exhibitor Winner.
Participants are invited to attend when the final national rankings are published in the Canine Chronicle for the year 2019. The judges for the event are kept a 'secret' until the doors open for the showcase so the Top 20 Silkys and their handlers have lots of suspense waiting to see who will be judging them on Wednesday evening Monday, April 6, 2020. The event is truly prestigious so you are encouraged to dress up for this fabulous occasion.
Ticketed guests attending the Top 20 event will receive a Top 20 catalog as a table favor. Non-ticketed guests may purchase a catalog for $10 at the door or can be ordered online and shipped for $15.
If you choose not to enjoy the dinner and premium seating, you may enter the ballroom approximately (10) ten minutes before the event starts at no charge. There's a deadline to register to attend this event: TBD
