Dog show in Torrance
The only AKC licenced all breed dog show held in the South Bay will take place Saturday and Sunday in Torrance.
Hundreds of dogs will be there, including some breeds I've never heard of. including a dandia dinmont terror and three kinds of cocker spaniels.
There's also going to be a bluetick coonhound there. The only bluetick coonhound I've seen up close is my own, so it'll be interesting to see what another one looks like. I'm going to be there writing a story for Sunday's paper.
The event takes place starting at 8 a.m. both days at North High School, 3620 W. 182nd St.
Admission is free, but parking fees will be donated to the school's athletic department and band.
You can find the detailed schedules here.
If you see me, stop by and say hi.

Daily Breeze reporter Donna Littlejohn has shared her homes with a succession of wonderful, funny, and occasionally difficult canines -- Muffin, Fritz, Ellie, Mercy, Pilgrim and now Cowboy, an Australian shepherd-border collie, and Tess, a border collie. From strong-willed terriers to weirdly obsessed Australian shepherds, they've invaded her world with boundless energy, wet noses, muddy paws and soggy tennis balls. But they've really brought so much more than that -- like laughter and joy, some unexpected life lessons, and more than a few tears along the way.

Josh Grossberg grew up with the usual array of animals: goldfish, dogs, hamsters, parakeets and turtles. He now owns the loudest dog in the South Bay(Video: Rocket the Dog) and is the least popular person on his block. He spends his free time in dog parks, pet shops and always has an extra plastic bag in his pocket just in case. He also has a cat.

Thanks, Josh, for the write up in the paper. We think there were more spectators at this show than usual. I hope everyone enjoyed the experience.
