The Sudbury and District Kennel Club is hosting three days of Championship Dog Shows in Coniston from Sept. 19-21.
The shows will take place at the Toe Blake Arena and feature more than 200 Canadian Kennel Club-registered purebred dogs from throughout Canada.
The puppers will be vying for championship titles and ranking points to determine Canada’s No. 1 dog. “Spectators will have an opportunity to safe-distance mingle with exhibitors, dog breeders and dogs while enjoying a great learning experience into the world of purebrod dogs and dogs in general,” according to a media release issued by organizers.
Spectators are welcome, but they are not allowed to bring their own family pets to the event grounds.
The spectator fee is $5 per adult, $2 per child, families are $10 and seniors over 55 are free.
In attendance and competing will be Sudbury’s own Top Dog, ”Bowie,” a Shih Tzu bred and owned by Patti, Mark and Sarah Paquette of Souyen Kennels in Azilda.
