That’s the sound of me dropping the ball.
I realized I never did a write up for the Cobequid Dog Show!
Here it is – a little (lot) overdue.
The Cobequid Dog Show was held at the Agridome on the Nova Scotia Provincial Exhibition Grounds in Bible Hill.
First, a picture of our table set up:
Snazzy!
This was our second actual dog show (we’ve been to a few expos) and it was nice to have a better idea of what was going on. Not to mention the chance to see so many dogs!
It was great to see familiar faces and meet new people. A lot goes in to preparing a dog, handling them, helping them get ‘show ready’. In some cases that means keeping the dogs away from others before they go on. Some people practice showing in an open area, others hide from their dogs so they won’t get excited when they see their owner.
One of the things we really enjoy is the double take people do when they see the Pawtrekker scooter. Usually that’s followed by either “Wow, that’s neat” or “oh that’s not a bike.” After that we spend as much time as the person wants explaining the features and answering their questions.
Another thing that’s really pleased us is the interest in our custom harnesses. The Hunter Orange was really popular since we were heading in to hunting season as well as the Nova Scotian tartan.
The HyperFlite discs were also a hit. A few people recognized the brand and it was nice to get feedback on them.
The Agridome was a wonderful place for them to hold the show – previous years, we were told, was held in the riding ring a building over.
Add this one to the list of shows we want to go back to year after year, and we hope to see you there!
