TCSPCA Dog Show

K.O. was a hit with his Gabbana sunglasses

What a wonderful afternoon with dogs of all shapes and sizes, potcakes and a mixture of breeds some large and some small. The fun started at 3 pm under the tent in Turtle Cove Marina. Categories for the competition were: Best Trick, Most Original Potcake, Dog Judges Would Most Like To Take Home, Looks Most Like Owner, Most Unusual Tail, Best Looking Female and Best Looking Male. There was a huge turn out of dogs and their owners as well as on lookers enjoying the day’s events.

Sweet Cookie was very timid as she took comfort in her owner's arms.

The judges are all ready to select the winners

 

I always look forward to Peggy's millinery stylings

I couldn’t stay to the end of the show so missed some great events such as the obstacle course but for sure I’ll be there again next year to take in all the fun. Big thanks go out to all those hard working volunteers. If you can help the potcakes and animals here on Provo  in any way, please contact the TCSPCA, Potcake Place or the Potcake Foundation. They will be glad you called.

See you in 2011,

What a great afternoon it was as everyone and their dogs had some tail waggin’ fun under the tent set up in Turtle Cove Marina. Once again it was time for the annual TCSPCA Dog Show. All the “who’s who” of the Provo doggie world came to vie for some great prizes and two trophies…..one for the Best in Show and one for the winner of the Obstacle Course.

A great turn out of dogs and potcakes of all sizes, their proud owners, loads of kids with cute painted doggy faces, booths selling a variety of neat items like eco friendly doggy bags, T-shirts and too many other items to mention along with food and drinks.

This little cutie was ready to show it's stuff in a range of competition endeavours.
