South Bay AKC show this weekend in Torrance
It's that time again.
The South Bay Kennel Club will present its All Breed Dog Show and Obedience Trial Saturday and Sunday (that's Aug. 8 and 9) at North high School in Torrance. And it's free (you pay only for parking, but you might want to bring some cash or a card for the many dog-related vendor booths and lunch).
I've attended the show in the past and posted about it last year.
It's great fun to see all the breeds up close, watch them being groomed, and get a real-time view of how these shows unfold and all the work that goes into showing a champion dog. You also can chat with owners, handlers, breeders and judges if they have a few moments in between shows.
Judging begins at 8 a.m. both days and group judging (for the various breed 'groupings' such as working, herding, toy, etc.) begins at about 2:30 p.m. Best in Show is
judged following the groups.
The schedule can be found at www.jbradshaw.com where you can link to the Judging Program to find out when and which ring number your favorite breeds will be showing.

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.

You know, I saw that pic and just knew you'd love it.
Just for clarification sake, that picture is NOT Sherman or Cosmo. :-)
