If you show dogs on the West Coast, you spend a good part of your time on I-5, the artery that runs from Mexico to Canada through the central valley of California, on through the mountains of Oregon, to Puget Sound in Washington.  This weekend fanciers were in Stockton CA for four shows with the Sierra-Tuolumne Kennel Club and the Kennel Club Of Salinas.   Though many exhibitors opted for the Portland Kennel Club’s two larger shows 600 miles north, the four day stop in Stockton drew almost 3500 entries.
