"104th
and 105th Detroit Dog Shows"
AmericaJR.com
has teamed up with the The
Detroit Kennel Club to give you the chance to
win a pair of tickets to see the 104th and 105th
Detroit Dog Shows at Cobo Center on March 6 and
7 in downtown Detroit. Tickets are valid for either
day, but can't be used on both days.
The
DKC is one of just six American Kennel Club benched
shows in the United States. The overwhelming majority
of dog shows are unbenched, at which dogs are
judged at an appointed time, then are free to
leave the show grounds. At a benched show such
as the DKC, dogs stay on the bench with their
owners for the entire day when they are not in
the ring. This means that the public has a rare
opportunity to meet with just about every breed
of dog, chat with the owners, and consult with
breeders to discover which breed is right for
them. Since almost everyone loves to talk about
his or her dog, breeders are more than happy to
share information with those interested in their
particular breed. And almost all of the dogs enjoy
the extra attention they receive from the spectators.
At
the DKC shows there are also many educational
and just plain fun events featuring the dogs themselves,
from breed seminars to agility competitions to
search and rescue demonstrations. These are events
that need a good deal of space, which is why a
benched show in an arena such as the Cobo Convention
Center is so perfect for these activities. The
back-to-back DKC benched shows only happen once
a year, so don’t miss them!
The
breeds are on exhibit on Saturday from 9AM to
5PM and on Sunday from 9AM to 4PM. Judging starts
at 9AM each day; all dogs have to be on their
benches by 10AM. The best time to visit is between
9AM and 4PM.
Adult
tickets are $12; tickets for children under twelve
and seniors are $8. Children under two years of
age are free. Family packs, two adults and three
children, are $35. Tickets are only available
at the door.
Pet
Supplies Plus is offering a coupon for $5 off
the purchase of a family pack. Stop by your local
Pet Supplies Plus store and pick up a $5 off coupon
for your family.
Cobo
Center is located at 1 Washington Boulevard in
Detroit.
Three
lucky winners will each receive a pair of tickets
to the Detroit Dog Shows.
