Hundreds of dogs comprising dozens of breeds converged on the park with
their owners and handlers from across the eastern U.S. for the 48-hour-long
competition.
Dogs were pampered and indulged during the preparation for the contests.
Virtually every type of dog was represented ranging from Cavalier King
Charles Spaniels, Golden Retrievers, a Bedlington terrier, Dogue Bordeaux,
Old English Sheep dogs and Welsh Corgis to Boston Terriers, Shih Tzu’s,
Bernese Mountain dogs, Bullmastiffs and Kerry Bleu terriers.
