2024 Waddle King
Ben

The “run” for King & Queen of the Waddle is the centerpiece of this annual fundraising event. Let’s make the 2025 Cirque du Basset the greatest fundraiser ever held!

Your generosity enables SBR to provide care, shelter and love to bassets in need.

The male and female hound with the most votes (aka funds raised), respectively, wins the crown. The King & Queen lead the Waddle Parade – it’s a MUST-SEE event!
