Hopefully all of my dog show images have piqued your interest and you might want to attend a show yourself this summer.  Spectators are always welcome!  You can find lists of dog shows in your area by visiting the infodog website where you can search for dog shows by state.  Here’s a link:   http://www.infodog.com/showinfo/state.htm
If you plan to attend a show, plan to go early and stay late so you can see as many breeds as possible.  Pick up a judging program at the superintendent’s desk when you arrive so that you can see which breeds will be shown in which ring and at what time.  Bring folding chairs and sunscreen if it’s an outdoor show!   Always ask the owner or handler if you may pet a dog before doing so!  Have fun and be prepared to oooh and ahhhh over the wonderful dogs that you will see!   And if you see me out there taking photos, stop by and say Hi!  🙂  [The blog image features a Bloodhound with his favorite stuffed cat at the Bucks County Kennel Club show last weekend!]
