IKC dog show

PawPrint · Smitten by Boxers

I believe that is a pretty good sized show. Wonderful that you were able to attend and have a good time. I always encourage anyone to attend a dog show. It does not matter what your involvement is in your dogs, a dog show is still a dog event. Hundreds if not thousands of different dogs and so many breeds.

Many wonderful vendors to bring home gifts for your own furry buddies left at home :)

BoxersnMinis · Congratulations!

Couldn't agree with you more Christina.
The weekend before was the Denver Cluster. Four Shows, Friday thru Monday. Confirmation, OB, Rally and Agility.....
did I mention tons of Vendors!!!

One other thing that really made me happy, and I was actually surprised by this, was the great condition all the dogs were in. They were well fed, well groomed, and their coats gleamed. The show was a Chicago bench style, which meant they were in booths but in crates inside them. Every dog was well-behaved and happy to meet people. I even saw a Gordon Setter who didn't flinch when the vacumn came on right next to him - I then told his person that with my Willow you just had to *say* "Kirby" and she would run off.

Every one there was happy to talk about their dogs - not only their breeding, accomplisments, and offspring, but also regular stories about them. When you do a lot of rescue work, you can sometimes lose sight of the fact there are people who are a credit to their breed out there, and that is what the future should hold.

Amen to that! I have come across some zealots in rescue (especially on message boards) who talk about "ending all breeding". DUHHHHHHH! What kind of moronic statement is that??
