BISMARCK, N.D. (KFYR) – Dogs of all types were contending this weekend at the Bismarck Event Center as part of the American Kennel Club Dog Show.
All the dogs taking part in the program over the weekend are signed up with the AKC and are from all over the United States and Canada. There were 4 various programs over the two-day duration with 425 dogs per program. Assistant Show Chairman Kevin Kosse said this program brings in a great deal of individuals each year.
“A lot of this is for the preservation of the breeds. These are the best of the breeds, these are all dogs that can be bred. It is to encourage the preservation of these breeds. We have some very unusual breeds here where there is only maybe a couple of hundred dogs in the United States of that particular breed,” said Kosse.
The preparation for each dog prior to the program depends upon the breed; some can take 3-4 hours to prepare yourself, while others can take a much shorter quantity of time. Kosse said they have actually been doing this program for over 15 years.
