Pups & Pride at Quicksilver Canine

Saturday June 1, 2024

  • 8:30 am – Welcome Meeting
  • 9:00 am – First Game Begins

Sunday June 2, 2024

Join us for a weekend of canine disc fun at our fourth annual Pups & Pride event Saturday and UpDog Competition Sunday! This weekend, we are celebrating the wonderful diversity of our dog sport community. We welcome all who may be interested in attending regardless of your sexual orientation. Pride is the promotion of the self-affirmation, dignity, equality, and increased visibility of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender people.

Please be aware, the Saturday event eases restrictions on music for freestyle to allow participants an element of free expression. It is possible that you may hear language that may challenge your sensibilities.

*Note: This event will be a fundraiser for the Harriet Hancock Center. All profits will benefit the center.

There will be a food vendor on-site. More details to follow. No lunch break.

Stay up to date on all things Pups & Pride by visiting the Pups & Pride Facebook page. There will be at least one photographer on site. We will share their information and how to purchase photos on our facebook page.

For additional questions email us at pupsandpride@gmail.com.

NOTE: When you click submit, you should receive a copy of your responses via email. If you didn’t receive a copy of your responses, then the registration didn’t go through. On some devices, when you click “submit,” there is a captcha (e.g. click all the squares that have a bus) that must be completed before it is actually submitted. On some devices, you may have to scroll to find the captcha.
