Reserved Grooming

In an attempt to provide the inside grooming facility to all our exhibitors in a fair manner and reduce the headaches associated with trying to get an indoor grooming space on Thursday, the Coyote Classic is offering multiple locations and multiple sizes of reserved grooming spaces in Old Pueblo Hall and Thurber Hall. All areas offer electricity. All exhibitors must bring their own extension cords and splitters.

THURBER HALL WILL NOT BE AVAILABLE OR OPENED TO EXHIBITORS UNTIL 5:00 P.M. ON WEDNESDAY, November 13, 2024.

OLD PUEBLO HALL WILL NOT BE AVAILABLE OR OPENED TO EXHIBITORS UNTIL 6:00 A.M. ON THURSDAY, November 14, 2024.

This year we are hosting all conformation indoors by expanding into Thurber Hall. Working, Sporting, and Herding breeds will be in Thurber Hall, while the remainder of the groups, and the group events themselves, will be in Old Pueblo Hall. We will be making every effort to keep each breed in the same Hall throughout the Classic. Each hall will offer some free and Premium Reserved Grooming. Old Pueblo Hall will also offer limited regular Reserved Grooming. Thurber has nice grass and shady trees around it that will be great for setups. Setting up on the field will provide easy access to both Halls.

On the south wall of Thurber Hall and on the south end of Old Pueblo Hall (Exhibit Rooms 1 & 2) is free grooming.

Old Pueblo Hall Exhibit Room 3 will be used for reserved grooming as follows:

10' x 10' spaces @ $60 for the weekend

Close to the rings, in the main section of Old Pueblo Hall, we will be offering Premium Reserved grooming spaces as follows:

10' x 9' spaces @ $80 for the weekend
9' x 15' or 10' x 14' spaces @ $120 for the weekend
20' x 9' spaces @ $160 for the weekend

Unreserved Grooming

There are two exhibit rooms for unreserved grooming areas in the southwest corner of Old Pueblo Hall and some unreserved grooming on the south wall of Thurber Hall. There is grass and shade trees around Thurber Hall, with some power on the north wall. There is also ample space on the Polo Field for exhibitors to set up their own portable tenting.

Bathing

Bathing of dogs will be in tubs provided by the Classic, located outdoors, southeast of Old Pueblo Hall, near Thurber Hall, and in the Treeline RV area. No dog bathing will be permitted in any other area of the Fairgrounds.

Crating

The Classic Committee and the show committees reserve the right to require the stacking of crates and any other remedies it may deem necessary for space in non-reserved areas on a case-by-case bases at their discretion. We encourage exhibitors to use their space efficiently to allow everyone the opportunity to have space.

No crates or pens will be allowed within 20 feet of any ring.
