The Blugrass Classic Dog Show

We went to the dog show today at the Kentucky Horse Park. It was a big show. We were too late to see the obedience but we got to see a bunch of breeds. They were doing a lot of herding and hounds when we got to the rings. We headed that way because the Shelties were showing at 12:40 according to the program. They followed the Rough Collies and the Bearded Collies. They had one Puli too. The turnout was lower than we would have thought. We estimated that only about half of the dogs entered had showed up at the ring. It was hot and an outdoor show but they would have known that it was outdoors when they entered. They also would have know it was late August so the heat wouldn't have been a surprise.


See the blue Corgi? And can anybody tell me what kind of dog this is on the right?

Anybody?....The vendors were there in force. We liked the clothes. I think Gracie needs one of those knitted pink sweaters. Hey Marianne, your mother can knit!

The Shelties were lining up to show in ring 8.

Pretty girls. There was a blue merle Pomeranian, who knew?

I liked the Sheltie cart. Lisa made friends with the Sheltie waiting for its turn in the ring.

The draped the wet towels out of the cooler to keep the dogs cool. The Bearded Collies didn't have to walk, there were several people carrying them on their shoulders like this.

Best of breed on the right. We stopped on the way home to look at the horses.
