There is a busy weekend for dog lovers in Wisconsin starting today and running through Sunday dog shows with going on. Tonight starts with the Great Lakes Pug Club’s annual specialty show with 50 pugs entered. Tomorrow through Sunday will be the Dairyland Cluster of Dog shows and obedience/rally trials. As a member of both the Pug club and the local Badger Kennel Club I will be spending a lot of time at the show site. There are over 1200 to 1600 dogs entered each day! My beautiful Labrador Retriever, Summer, is entered all three days in conformation at these shows. More show information can be found here.

We are hoping some of our state legislators will attend to see the good side of the dog breeding community as well as to talk with breeders about how anti-breeding laws could affect them and why current proposed legislation in our state will not help get rid of puppy mills as intended. All were invited personally to attend so we will see if any take us up on our invite.
