Who spent the weekend going to the dogs?

February

The Rock-Wall Winter Classic dog show in Rockland, to be precise. The show, an American Kennel Club-approved competition, drew some 4,000 dogs of 150 breeds from about 20 states. Yow. That’s a lot of kibble. You can read about in today’s Journal News or here. In the meantime, some snaps from the show by Journal News photographer Angela Gaul:

Taz, a hairless Chinese Crested pooch from Hewitt, N.J.

Like looking in a mirror, with bad eyesight. Parker, a Chinese Sharpei from Runnymede, N.J., greets Asa, before going in the show ring.(Gorgeous!) Cal, a Siberian Husky, being groomed by Michelle Macias of Hartford, Conn.Give daddy a kiss….Pippi, a Chinese Crested “powder puff,” gets a little love as he’s groomed by Victor Helo of Bohemia, L.I.Check out this big boy! Caruso, a German shepherd, gets a pet from Stephanie Behn, 15, of West Sayville, N.Y.

I leave you with the winner of Best in Show (cribbed this pic from Web)….or should I say beast in show…check out the size of this Irish wolfhound, Dun Myrica Speaker of Eagle (huh?), from Chester Springs, Pa. Good job pup.
