I hope you are getting excited about the Progressive Dog Club of Wayne County’s back to back shows, on April 29-30, 2023, which are the FIRST all breed shows in Michigan for calendar year. This year, there are only two all breed shows, but the same specialty, group, and special attractions as in 2022, including 3 days of AKC scentwork starting on Friday April 28th. We are also happy to announce a limited entry all-breed obedience and rally trial hosted by the Siberian Husky Club of Greater Detroit that will be held Friday afternoon. See the SHCGD’s premium list for details.
RV Reservations
RV reservations can be made online starting March 1st. The campsites include sites with electrical and dry camping (no electrical) sites. There are no water or sewer hookups, but we do have potable water and a dumping station on the grounds.
Grooming Space Options
Grooming space can be reserved online as well. There will be 10 x 10 foot spaces in the Dog Barn building including electrical, and we will also allow people to reserve horse stalls, most of which have electrical, for no charge. Free covered grooming space will also available on site. Grooming reservations can also be made online. Links will be available on our Our Shows page and our Facebook page.

We are excited about some new and returning food vendors this year. Sovis Farms’ Home Cookin’ which features a full menu of farm-to-table items will join us this year, we will have a specialty coffee vendor, fresh squeezed lemonade and delicious mini donuts.
