The Boogie Woogie BowWows and their dancing dogs are the dog world’s answer to Fred and Ginger.  We offer a fast-paced, family-oriented show set to music.  A dachshund and standard poodle leap, weave, ride a skateboard, and jump through hoops as they cavort with their human partners.  This spectacular act thrills adults and children alike.  The result is a memorable experience for those who watch as well as those who join the dancing dogs on stage.

Appearances
The Boogie Woogie BowWows are available to perform for theaters, family resorts, libraries, schools, shopping malls, and black tie benefits.  Full shows generally run 30 minutes with a question and answer period at the end.  We also offer shorter shows to suit mall and theater intermissions.  With all shows we require a minimum stage size of 20 ’ x 25’.  We adapt our performances to suit the audience and venue.

To schedule a show, please contact us at bowwows@chesapeake.net

About Us
The BowWows have been providing educational entertainment at black tie fundraisers, theaters and community events throughout the Northeast. Both dogs are certified therapy dogs and have earned Canine Good Citizenships.

Joan Rose and her miniature longhair dachshund Tucker and Lynn Franklin and her standard poodle Sam have won dozens of gold medals and numerous dog dance titles and have appeared on Inside Edition, Animal Story, Dog Fancy’s popular dog series, and in the movies “Paws To Dance” and "The Birthday Caper." They were only the second pairs team in the world to earn a Master's title from the World Canine Freestyle Organization and were recently featured in Reader's Digest and The Washington Post.

To ensure quality shows, we only accept one or two performances per calendar quarter.  End of the year holidays are our busy season, so please be sure to contact us early.
