'Under the aegis of the International Canine Federation, the Mures County Canine Association organizes this year again the large-scale three-component canine event taking place under the sign of 'Dracula' at the Weekend Complex, as well as three national exhibitions and four club exhibitions for terriers, dachshunds, retrievers and water dogs, and Central Asian shepherds. This year's participation excels both by the number of participants (over 1,000 evaluations/day) and by the origin of the competitors, with hopefuls from over 31 European countries, Belize and China having confirmed their participation. Visitors will also be able to admire no less than 157 dog breeds, some of them very rare, such as the Continental Bulldog and the Dansk-Svensk Gardshund,' Lokodi Csaba Zsolt, the president of the event's main organizer - the Mures County Canine Association, announced on Monday in a release.

The award ceremonies are slated to open at 3:00 p.m. on Friday at the Weekend Complex, at 5:30 p.m. on Saturday at the Medieval Fortress, and will end on Sunday at 4:00 p.m. at the Weekend Complex.
