The sound inside the Orange County Convention Center was deafening this weekend. Hundreds of dogs barking in a large cavernous room will cause that.
The AKC/ Eukanuba National Championship was held this weekend in Orlando. The event is the culmination of a week of festivities, including show competitions, agility, dock diving, grooming and a showcase of dozens of breeds.
Take a look at some of my pictures from the weekend:
 |
| At the National Beagle Club table at Meet the Breeds. Santa beagle gets photo bombed. |
 | | |
| The sisters, Birdie and Fergie. Fergie won an award of merit in competition. |
 |
| Here's Fergie with her ribbon. |
 |
| Lulu's trainer, Adam, assists Lina, one of the national trainers for Petco with a Training Basics demo. | |
 |
| A young girl in the ring for the Junior Handler's Competition. She's only 9 and she's working with a great dane. |
|
 |
| The Borzoi group held a Blessing of the Dogs ceremony Saturday. Here, Father Sergei blesses a borzoi. |
 |
| Lagotto Romagnolo. I had never heard of this. It's an ancient Italian breed that now hunts truffles! |
 |
| Spinone Italiani! I want one! |
 |
| Everything at the poodle booth was in camo. This group wants it known poodles are not wussified French doggies. They're German hunting dogs. |
 |
| This young lady is showing Berger Picards. She actually breeds them, and she's a teenager. |
|
 |
| The borzoi cart. Every year the Borzoi clubs give people rides on this "sleigh." |
I have more pictures, this is just a sampling. As always a fun event with lots to see and learn about dogs. Plan on being there next year.
