This is a post about canines and couture. After attending the Leatherstocking Cluster Fall Dog Show on Friday, we were not only impressed by the breeds and the training, but also by the style exhibited by the breeders and owners. Most participants were impeccably attired in designer gear, and some looked ready for runways themselves. From our conversations with judges and others, this chic fashion sense has always been a part of these shows. Maybe if the breeders don’t look good, the dogs won’t look (so) good.

Jen from Niagara Falls with her dog Moe (competing in the Toy Group)

Moe was the Best in Show winner at Ring 1 at the NYS Fairgrounds on Friday.

We have to thank Jen from Niagara Falls, who talked to us about the rules and regulations for dog show competitions. Also Jan Paulk gave us some insight into what the judges look for during the contests. Moe (pictured above) was born in Russia and will celebrate his fourth birthday on December 12, 2013 (not pictured, his son Pickles).
