Dog Shows; A Source of Entertainment George Smith, Blacksmith Rottweilers Although some are still unaware, many families have discovered the fun and interesting things to see at Dog Shows. Dogs, which are of interest to most of us (especially children), are a source of pleasure to be around and Dog Shows give us a chance to observe some of the finest specimens of each breed. Most of the outdoor shows take place in rural areas amongst farmlands and scenic countrysides where we otherwise might not go. The striped tents and flags fluttering in the breeze create a festive atmosphere and is an opportunity for an enjoyable day out in the open air with the family. Whether it be the small feisty Terrier Breeds or the huge Saint Barnard or Great Danes which are your type, you're sure to find a breed that strikes your fancy. The Obedience and Agility Rings are of particular interest showing off the discipline and extensive training that goes into these fine animals. In the conformation Ring where the beauty and the anatomy of each dog is checked you will have fun picking the dogs you like the best and think will win. Who will take 1st Place? How about 2nd? Be your own judge and in the end see how close you came. Around the perimeter of the show grounds are vendors selling food, beverages, and every item imaginable for a pet and even beautiful 14K pet jewelry for humans. Bring your credit card but don't get carried away! At the Superintendent's Desk you may help yourself to pamphlets and brochures and much valuable information on the care and treatment of dogs. It's helpful to purchase a catalog which indicates the time and Ring # where each breed is to be shown. So bring your folding chairs and get ready to spend a memorable day at the Dog Show.
