Hi folks! Just posted some pictures from the recent Singapore Kennel Club (SKC) / ProPlan Dog Show held on 13July at the Expo Hall 5, Singapore. Very nice venue..huge..like a football stadium fully aircond. They have space for 2 show rings, 1 obedience/utility trails ring, 1 fun event ring, with room left over for shopping stalls, and generous benching areas. In Singapore, they charge $5 per head to go in. But lotsa people come. Many with their pets as well. Very popular breeds are the Mini Schnauzers , JRTs (Never saw so many of them in one place..defintely not a DLL group!), the ever popular Goldies, Siberian Huskies (they have an active Siberian Huskies Club) and Shetland Sheepdogs (many with thick, gorgeous coats..very nice..) The fun events have a race in which the owner has to encourage the dog to run towards him/her the fastest, using food as a bait (Sponsored by Beggin Strips) Winner hands down was a very energtic JRT! Reminds me of Biscuit. Fancy dress was next, I saw a dog dressed as a hot dog..meaning, he has 2 buns attached to his sides. Hilarous! A mini schnauzer was dressed like a witch, while another came in a sequined dress as a mama-san! Obedience trails I managed to see a very discipline JRT performing the novice excercise like a pro! Reward was a ball to play with after each successful excercise. Impressive! Gina, Mike.. you reading this? Did not stay long enough for the Best in Show. Will check up the SKC website for details later. All in all, a long, tiring day but very enjoyable. Next time, must send a puppy.com team down. Shud be more fun in a group. Check out the photo gallery under overseas dog show category. Hope the pictures will be online by then. Rdgs Arthur
