What makes your dog special? A local Best in Show
With the Westminster Dog Show approaching fast (Feb. 15-16), I got to thinking. All dogs are special, pure bred or not. Realizing that we have a vast variety of dogs right here in the South Bay, it might be a good time to showcase some of our local talent.
So what makes your dog stand out as a Best in Show in your book?
Consider this your open invitation to send us a photo(s) of your dog along with some of this pertinent information:
1) Breed (or breed mixes)
2) Name -- and how or why you chose this name.
3) Where did you find your best friend? A local shelter or rescue group? A trusted breeder?
4) Personality quirks. What makes your dog funny or outstanding in other ways?
5) Favorite trick?
6) Best habits vs. worst habits?
7) Favorite things to do with your dog?
Feel free to add other details if you wish, special stories or anectdotes. We'll post them here at South Bay Pets as they come in.
Email them to donna.littlejohn@dailybreeze.com. Pictures should be in jpeg format if possible.
Here's to all the special dogs in the South Bay -- purebred or not!
About the Bloggers
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.
