Specialty Ads & Catalogs

Show off your Lappy with an ad in the annual catalog! Send greetings and well wishes to those at the Nationals if you can’t be there! Become a part of FLCA history! Advertising is a wonderful way to show off your furkids while supporting FLCA, and *everyone* can participate. Catalogs aren’t just for the participants the day of the show - they are full of information and become important historical documents of the breed. Fanciers covet the catalogs forever! Catalogs are 5.25 x 8.25, spiral bound, and all ads are full page, full color, and cost just $25 each for camera-ready art or, if you need assistance, we can do your layout for an additional fee of $10, just let us know!

2015 Catalog Orders

PRE-ORDER YOUR CATALOG!!!! No catalogs will be sold at the show or afterwards so be sure that you pre-order. Catalogs will be made available at the specialty no earlier than one-half hour prior to the start of judging, and all mailed catalogs will be sent after the show.
