How to Learn About Dog Breeds

Attending an all-breed dog show is a terrific way to see lots of breeds all under one roof. Or, spend time learning more about your favorite breed!


This past weekend we attended the shows in Atlanta, and of course, spent most of our time at the Havanese ring.


Lots of beautiful pups and a great way to see all the different colors of the Havanese.


Pups are eligible to show starting at six months old.


Then afterward, you can chat with the breed folks ringside to learn more about their breed. To find a local show in your area check out the event search at AKC.org.

      Haha! I know... I hang out with the Havanese, and then I check out what's going on in obedience, utility and rally. Usually the agility folks we know are over there!

      I attended a couple of shows and before you knew it I met new Cavalier Fancier friends. The friendships with both breeders and pet owners have developed over the years so I not only have friends but also people to discuss dog care and health with. Also think about becoming involved and joining your Nationsl and local breed club.
