​

Congratulations to all placing winners!

​

Well done and thank you to everyone that entered their beautiful Northern Inuit for our first Virtual Online Dog Show. We also want to thank our wonderful Judges for their fair and impartial judgements for this year's show and hope they do us the honor again next year. We also hope to have a few more judges next year as we will be expanding the classes for each category.  

All Winners will be officially notified by email and their Official Awarded Rosette Ribbons will be mailed out to them by Fed Ex or by UPS. All 1st - 4th placement winners are instructed to submit 3 new portrait type photos of themselves with their Fur Babies in different poses showing off their winning rosettes and 3 new portrait type photos of their Fur babies by themselves in different poses, again showing off their winning rosettes. More detailed instructions will be sent with the award rosettes. These photos will be used for publication in the NISA News Letter 'Nit Wit News', NISA web site and other online media sites so please dress appropriately for these particular photos (eg: no slippers, or flip flops).

Entries that did not make it for any top 4 placements will be awarded a NISA participation ribbon which will be sent out them by mail within the next few weeks.
