This Mexican Chihuahua got a new knit hoodie at the dog show in Shakopee today, just the thing for
the biting cold Minnesota weather this November. Windy, nasty, high of just 30 today. Plenty to bark about.

We stopped by the Minneapolis Kennel Club dog show today. That's where we were captivated by Brooke, at right, a beautiful female Golden Retriever. She's probably not going to be Best in Show, but we did watch as she won her junior division trial, paraded about by her young trainer.
We looked at many of the other breeds, petting some, bringing home fresh scents for Birdie, who will never win anything, to enjoy.
Annually, the Minneapolis Kennel Club sponsors two shows: an all-breed dog show and obedience trial/rally. The all-breed show is a two-day event generally held in November. It attracts over 1200 dogs in all-breed conformation competition and junior showmanship. Participating dogs come from all AKC-recognized groups: sporting, hound, working, terrier, toy, non-sporting, herding and miscellaneous.
