48 thousand feet, a ton of treats, sleeker hair than most of us, and drool... lots of dog drool. Yes, it's DOG HEAVEN! The annual World Series of Dog Shows is on at Reliant Park through Sunday, and it is a dog lover's dream. This is a great chance to see your favorite breeds (yes, I'll be hanging out around the Golden Retrievers) as well as the breeds you've only seen in pictures (a Komondor, anyone? It looks like a mop!).  I took this shot (you can click on it for the full size) a few years ago when the show was still at the Astroarena. Golden heaven!
Besides the judging contests, you can see dogs strutting their stuff in agility contests and flyball games, in addition to meeting some hard working search and rescue dogs. Doors open at Reliant Park at 8 this weekend, closing at 7 on Saturday night and 6 on Sunday. Tickets are $10 for adults, $5 for seniors, and children under twelve (with an adult) are free. 4 CommentsLeave a comment |
Hi Lisa
I just found out about this site from a Twyla's Friends memeber. I just want to thank you for letting people know about four legged events and concerns. I have been in the pet care business for 40 years now, and it is scary what people don't know. I look forward to seeing more of your reports.

Thanks, Donna! I am always looking for ideas or subjects you all want to get out into the open...
I was very impressed this year with the dog show. I think it's awesome that all the rescues and shelters were there. I've been going the last five years, and everytime I've had a ball. Like you said, it's a dog lover's heaven. And you are right: Komondors do look like mops. But have you felt their coat? Super soft.
I understand Komondors require a lot of grooming from early on, to ensure their "moppy" look!
