Pawed my way through the first assignment of the year today – My Dog at Svenska Mässan Convention Center. As usual, the Standard Poodles carried their tails high, and not entirely surprisingly the Dachshunds got no deductions for their nosework. The Labs and Goldens spread love, and all those proud Schnauzers (three varieties) were, of course, irresistible. And let’s not forget all the beautiful sheepdogs.
