With a spacious 10 acres, the Purina Farms Canine Competition Center makes a superb location for herding competitions, lure coursing or for oval or straight-track whippet races. Developed specifically for field and test competitions, the Competition Center is well suited to accommodate sanctioned events.

The Canine Competition Center contains a lighted 100 x 200-foot A course; a B course; and a lighted round pen that is used for beginning dogs and instinct testing. Gravel parking is provided, along with tents and equipment.

Purina Farms also supplies more than 100 Katahdin/Barbados Cross sheep that are herded on a regular basis. There is no fee for use of the Competition Center.

TESTIMONIALS

Here are testimonials from people who have recently held events at the Canine Competition Center that attest to its first-rate accommodations.

"Purina Farms is the only facility in the nation able to accommodate the variety of events a specialty such as ours requires. When we stage a specialty, we need areas to accommodate agility, conformation, herding, obedience and tracking, plus vending and education space. The staff bends over backward to help make things run smoothly."

"The great thing about holding an event at Purina Farms is that the staff is so responsive. You can ask them for just about anything, and they'll get it for you."
