CEBA invites you to engage in a fun-active-educationalexperience. Walk your Entle through a series of aptitude exercises designed to
evaluate your dog’s inherent qualities in nerve strength, sociability, play, prey, hunt,
and defense drives. Our temperament evaluator will assess your team’s working
relationship and discuss your team’s unique qualities.!
The CEBA conformation judging panel will observe your Entle from the tip of its
nose to the end of its tail, while you learn how your Entle compares to the Breed
Standard. Walk away with a better understanding of your Entle’s physical make-up.
Each participant will receive the popular red CEBA dog tag!

Granlibakken presents a rare combination
of luxury with a casual mountain resort
atmosphere, a perfect spot for an Entle
gathering. At a base elevation of 6,245 feet,
there’s no better place for taking in the
alpine air or exploring nature through the
Tahoe pines. !
For adventure, hit the on-site trails or mosey
down to the Truckee River for a cooling swim. For a more serious hike, the Tahoe
Rim Trail is just moments away. Although Granlibakken is just one half mile from
Tahoe City, you are a world away on this secluded 74-acre site. !
With the amenities of an all-inclusive resort, there is no need to leave… just park
your car, relax, dine, and enjoy the companionship and events of Entlefest. Your
Entle will thank you with a Swiss kiss!
