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:

Lagotto Romagnolo. I had never heard of this. It's an ancient Italian breed that now hunts truffles! |

Everything at the poodle booth was in camo. This group wants it known poodles are not wussified French doggies. They're German hunting dogs. |

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.
