On Saturday, October 23rd, dog lovers throughout central Texas will convene at the Little Darlin’ and show off their canine’s coiffure…
Please join us at The Little Darlin' for the 7th Annual Dog Beard and Moustache Competition!
The Austin Facial Hair Club, Bulleit Whiskey, and The Little Darlin' are teaming up to raise funding and awareness for Bully Ranch, a 501c3 non-profit refuge for pit bull and pit bull type dogs where they can receive rehabilitation, training, and ultimately become valued members of a loving, forever family.

Dog & Owner Look-A-Like: Pet and owner must be similar in appearance, style, and attitude
Freestyle: Styled beard and moustache. Styling products permitted, any shape or color! Emphasis on creativity and complexity of design. Anything goes, and costumes are welcome.
Best Groomed: Neatest-looking, well-kept dog beard. Emphasis on symmetry, clean lines, and a neatness of the canine beard.
Gnarliest Beard: Wild-looking, gnarly dog beard! The wilder the better!
Sweetest Stache: The title says it all!

AND THEN, THE FINALE!!!
