The Haute Dog Pageants are a fundraiser for Rudd's nonprofit 501c3 Community Action Team (C.A.T.) of which "Haute Dogs" and "Operation Santa Paws" are a part. Each dog in the contest donates a fee and several thousand dollars will be raised from entry fees (benefitting spay/neuter and adoption/rescue programs), $5 front-row seating rentals along the runway and vendors space rentals.
Leave plenty of time for parking - more than 1,000 spectators are expected again this year.

Last year, more than 200 English bulldogs and approx. 100 French bulldogs from at least four states and Canada left the crowd drooling for more. Again this year, each quadruped will strut down a 100-ft. red carpet outdoor runway flanked by hundreds of seats, rentable for $5, for gawkers that will snake around the grassy park. This is a competition where gender is no limitation and good looks are no advantage. The English bulldog competition lasts about an hour.
Costumes are optional, and not recommended.
Organizers realize that most dogs are so adorable that they shouldn't be covered up! We don't recommend outfits, since these dogs can overheat easily.
THEY ARE COMING FROM AFAR!
Again this year, some dogs will travel a far distance to compete in Long Beach. So far, dogs are coming from as far as Glendale, Arizona (371 miles); Sandy Valley, Nevada (270 miles); and from Dublin, Calif. (375 miles), Montana, Utah, and Oklahoma.
PRIZES AND CATEGORIES
In addition to a year of notoriety and fame, a bottle of nice champagne, and a blue ribbon, the "most beautfiul" dogs in each of the pageants (English Bulldogs, French Bulldogs, Pugs, Chihuahuas, Pit Bulls, Senior Dogs, etc.) will also receive prizes from various sponsors, including Pussy & Pooch on 2nd St. and Fido Friendly Magazine.
THE TOP-20 English Bulldogs will be asked to join the judges on the red carpet in the center of the ring for the final judging. All dogs are evaluated by the judges as they pass by on each category (best booty, smile and legs).
