Dog Show Pics Post 7 60+

[Freedom]

We will be going to see a dog show this Saturday. The Providence County Kennel Club has a show each year at the high school in my city, East Providence. It is usually held outdoors, so many of the large breeds do not show up. Still, they get a tremendous number of dogs and you can walk around the field and see the set up areas and such. We just walk around for an hour or so. It is much too hot and the action too slow to stay out there in the sun for any length of time. The folks competing have all manner of tents, generators, fans and such.

We've attended twice before, didn't make it last year. I remember they always set up a kiddy wading pool for the dogs to cool off, and there is always a crowd of spectators to watch the antics of the dogs at play.

I can't remember if you can take pets, so I'm not sure if Sugar and Lacey are coming. Still need to find that out.

Here are the entries for this year:

It is best to keep all pets at home.
It is written some where in the premum list that there is no room for unentered dogs.
I will be going to a show in IN this weekend.Trying for a total dog.Winning my class in Conf and qualifying in Obed.Keeping my fingers crossed....

Pets aren't usually allowed at shows and people who bring them are often kicked off of the grounds. I hope you have a good time though!

Whoa! TEN Affens? :eek:

[cyber-sibes]

Woooo-wooooo!
SIXTEEN Siberians!
That should be something, 707 dogs all together! Have fun!

[Freedom]

Whoa! TEN Affens? :eek:


Yup, we have an affen living the next town over who made it to Westminster two years ago. I think they have several who compete. I don't know the people; just remember seeing it on TV and being stunned! They are cute dogs, little "monkeys!"

Hey Orangutango, pet dogs WERE allowed at this dog show, and there were quite a few in attendance! You just couldn't take them near the show rings. I didn't take my dogs, though, it is just SO hot out on that field!

Here are some ( actually, a LOT) of photos. I added the breed name and then they were automatically sorted in alpha order; don't know if that is good or bad, it just IS.

Although many Affenpinschers were entered, I got there late. The breed judging was over and the dogs had left except for this one; all tuckered out!

Australian Terrier -- there were quite a few of these present! They come in the blue and tan, or the all tan.

Bichon Frise -- three were entered, but only this one showed up. The trainer / owner was a bit miffed as she needs just one more point for . . . something or other. She couldn't get it unless she took the group as there was no competition at the breed level.

That's all!

[Tollers-n-Dobes]

Great pictures! Looks like a great day. :)

Usually pets aren't allowed in most areas. Maybe shows are different where you are? A few people brought their pets to the last show we had here and they were told to leaveright away. I guess the best thing to do would be to contact the club that's hosting the show and ask from now on. Perhaps the rules have changed.

[cyber-sibes]

That looks like a nice show, although I'll bet it was pretty hot. Those sibes look pretty good, considering this is not their best coat season. Those Akitas were awesome!!! Gorgeous pictures! Did you feel like you a roving photographer for Pettalk? ;)

[Freedom]

He he, oh Pat, you caught on! One person told me, "ya know, you are supposed to wear your press pass on your shirt, not carry it in your purse." I just said oh, OK, I'll fix that and move FAR away! Another asked which paper was oging to have his pictures in it. Yup, I did venture into several areas which were not technically opened to the public. Got some nice photos in those areas, too. I couldn't have done that if I had my own dogs with me!

[Danegirl2208]

Great pictures! So many beautiful dogs!

of course i LOVE the danes, very beautiful! I really like the Akitas and ridgebacks too!

[Miss Z]

Wow, what a lot of pics! Looks like you had a fabulous time, and I am envious of the very sunny weather you got at your end of things. ;)

I just love those goldens, and the harlequin dane is beautiful!

[Suki Wingy]

Nice. I was supposed to go to a show in Elkhorn, WI today but it didn't work out.

[Muddy4paws]

Your so lucky, I hardly have any dog shows around here! :rolleyes: :D

They all look so immaculate!

[Pam]

Very nice pictures! Thank you for going to all of the trouble to put them up. I think I would like one of those cooling coats for myself on hot days. :) Weren't there any poodles? :(

[Freedom]

Three standard poodles were entered. I don't know if any showed up; I never saw any of them. No miniature poodles were even entered. Sorry!

[Ginger's Mom]

Looks like a great day. You did a good job of making it feel like we were right there. And if you keep busy getting pictures, you are less likely to get in trouble for accidentally ;) putting one of those cute little pups in your pocket.

[RobiLee]

Gorgeous dogs!

You know which ones were my favorites ;). Thanks for all those beautiful akita pics!

[inlovewithanimals]

GREAT PICS!!!!! o i loved the Boxers! Were there any Boston Terriers??????
Loved the Akita and Siberian Husky's pics!!!!!


Justin,

Hehe! I am amazed! Gorgeous dogs!

So many beautiful dogs! I'll bet you were in heaven being around them all! Thanks for sharing so many pictures, I feel like I was there. :)
