Doxie Classifications
Please choose your race classification at registration. All classifications are subject to review and verification. Classifications have been set & approved by Cobb Animal Clinic, Greensboro, NC.
"Adult Races" -- Adult Doxies are: 1-6 years old (have not reached their 7th birthday)
"Puppy Races" -- Doxie Puppies are: up to 11 months old (have not reached their 1st birthday)

A quick reminder about registration: Registration is ongoing and dynamic. As we receive entries, each dog is placed into their proper division based on age & ability. With each registration submission, heat and gate assignments could change. It is for this reason, we finalize registration as divisions reach their limits or 72 hours prior to Race Day. Please be patient in allowing us to complete this process leading up to 24 hours before the race. Thank you in advance for your cooperation, patience & understanding.
