Let's go to a Dog Show!

Sunday October 10th 2009 at the Howard County Fairgrounds.

NOTE: the fairgrounds charges a $5.00 parking fee.

I've put the meetup time at 11:00 AM. The show starts at 8:00 AM and goes until approximately 2:00 PM.

This is the Maryland Kennel Club's annual conformation show.

Several of you know that I am familiar with the dog show world and I have mentioned that I would love to take a group of interested persons to a dog show and teach you a little bit about what goes on. I plan to make this a learning opportunity, an introduction into the "sport" of dog showing. I'll explain how a dog show works, including how a dog works it way from the breed classes to the group classes to Best In Show!

Dog shows are a great opportunity to see the best representations of a breed you fancy and talk to breeders about their passion.

And don't forget SHOPPING! Lots of vendors selling every sort of dog paraphernalia you can ever imagine.

This is a meetup for humans only - dogs not entered in the show are not permitted.

I will send more details to you toward the end of this week.
