Last weekend Rocco and I headed to Chicago for the Havanese National Specialty dog show where hundreds of fabulous Havanese competed in conformation, agility, obedience and rally!
Unlike the dog shows you may see on TV, specialties are held for each breed and you'll find only that breed at the show. There's nothing like hundreds of Havanese in a room at one time!

Rocco competed in the 9-12 month puppy class in conformation, and he had two chances in the ring -- in puppy sweepstakes and in the national specialty. And while we didn't bring home any ribbons, we had a terrific time both in and out of the ring!

There was plenty of time for walks and adventure too. Rocco and his pal Zoe, who won Veteran's Winners Bitch (seven years and older), walked around the lovely path at the Westin in Lombard and enjoyed some time by the fountains.
