Probably Not Dog Handlers...

This weekend the Puyallup Fair kicked off and they once again had the All About Dogs exhibit/booths in one of the livestock barns. We were invited to bring Odin and Loki to the fair so they could be a part of the "dog show" demonstration on Friday and Saturday so that people could see what happens at a show and see the different types of breeds and classes that they belong to.

On Friday since Lisa had Daphne her English Pointer there I got the pleasure of being a handler for Odin in the show. Thankfully this was only for fun since Odin was super excited by all the dogs and people and I will be the first to admit that handling a dog and getting them to do what you need them to do in front of people is not as easy as it looks. I think we’ll leave the handling of Odin to Lisa for real shows.

On Saturday we headed back to the fair with Lisa and her mom to see the fair and let Odin be in the show again. Lennie decided that we should bring Loki along with as well and Ben and I figured it couldn’t hurt so off to the far he went as well. Lisa was back in the reigns of showing Odin since we left Daphne at home. Right before the sporting dogs took to the ring Lennie and Lisa decided that Ben should show Loki as well and give a try at handling a dog. With some prodding we were able to get him in the ring with Loki though I’m sure he want not too happy. I don’t think he’ll be taking up dog showing anytime soon.

All in all it was a good weekend of dog events at the fair with good company.
