Pups compete at annual F-M Kennel Club Dog Show – KVRR Local News
WEST FARGO, N.D. (KVRR) – The F-M Kennel Club’s annual All-Breed Dog Show drew in a great crowd at the Red River Valley Fairgrounds.
The annual dog show saw competitors come from all across the country to compete and show their dogs.
Lisa Braun, of the F-M Kennel Club, said that they were excited by the turnout this year, including having several dogs competing who had won awards at the Westminster Dog Show.
For her though, it’s just great to see the bonds between handlers and dogs while they’re competing.
Braun said, “It’s near and dear to my heart just because I’m an owner-handler myself. It’s great to see that competition and the camaraderie between the handlers when they’re in the ring helping each other out and making sure everyone’s had an opportunity to show their dogs to the best of their abilities. ”
If you didn’t get a chance to come see the dogs at the show this year the F-M Kennel Club also has agility competitions coming up in October.
