WINDING DOWN THE YEAR

Forsyth Park, savannah GA
 
Our show week is already underway today in Savannah GA where the hometown Savannah Kennel Club opened a four day set they share with the Beaufort Kennel Club.  With five of the Top Ten Dogs All Breeds entered today, we are expecting some major excitement out of this one.  The only other four day cluster available in the US this week is out in Yuma AZ starting tomorrow with the Yuma Kennel Club & the Imperial Valley Kennel Club hosting.  The Edwardsville Illinois Kennel Club will offer up two shows this weekend in Belleville IL and will sweeten the deal with three limited breed shows on Friday courtesy of the Gateway Sporting Dog Association, the Gateway Terrier Association , & the Gateway Non-Sporting Dog Club.

The remaining options are all of the Saturday/Sunday variety.  In the North it’s two with the Worcester County Kennel Club in Fitchburg MA, two in East Lansing MI with the Ingham County Kennel Club, or two with Kankakee River Valley Kennel Club in Kankakee IL.  Down here in the South, our choices are two in Gulfport MS with the Mississippi Gulf Coast Kennel Club or a weekend in Conroe TX with the Conroe Kennel Club.  Our only West coast offering is in the Northern California town of Vallejo with the Santa Cruz Kennel Club & the Kennel Club Of Salinas, who decided to move their post Christmas shows to a more holiday friendly time frame.

As we wind down the year, you have fewer and fewer chances to see this year’s crop of dogs, many of which will be retiring in the new year.  Take in an AKC dog show this week.  You will still have time to Christmas shop.
