The Dixie Classic Fair is proud to be associated with Marvelous Mutts! Kara & Nadja and the crew do a great job entertaining our crowds and are easy to work with. Their show is first class and the dogs really seem to enjoy what they are doing. The Marvelous Mutts is fast becoming a staple entertainment of our fair and I highly recommend them to any fair considering a quality dog show.

DelGrosso’s Park & Laguna Splash, Tipton, PA

When looking to book acts for our park we want to have family friendly, fun and educational. Marvelous Mutts is all three plus so much more! The trainers are professional and friendly and love interacting with the crowd. This is not ‘just a job’ for them…it is their passion and it shows. Everyone leaves these shows with smiles on their faces (even the dogs). It is a tail waggin' great time for everyone involved.
