| Yup, I went this year and last year. It is definitely worth it. AKC rules state that dogs not entered into the show can't come. Besides comformation, there is also agility, duck herding with Border Collies, adoptions, pet therapy and K9 cop demos. Michigan Veterinary Specialists were there talking about CPR and common toxins in dogs. They also have "Meet the Breed" talks. Marley and Uno were there this year. The vendors were okay. A few of them were good...the rest just average. Because it is a bench show, you can walk up and down the aisles and meet the dogs and pet some of them when they aren't showing. Some of the breeders will talk to you also. We met a 4.5 pound Yorkie girl...cute as ever.

I hope everyone understands this is for the safety and health of the show dogs from the dogs that are brought in from outside.

| I didn't get to go to the show...but when I was traveling for work, I was on the same fight as Uno and his handlers. They said he had a booth at the show and was just returning home to Texas. Here's a pic I snapped as we were waiting for checked bags.

| We got our pic taken with Marley and then with Uno. Marley (well one of the some 22 Marley's that there are) was quite the friendly licker. Uno paid no attention to us whatsoever. He was busy being a Beagle (barking).

| Crystal...we were delayed in Flint for 4 hours. He was walking around the airport, dragging his leash behind (along with his handlers) greeting everyone!! And can you believe...I never heard a single bark! LOL

I thought that is all Mr. Uno could do! He was concentrating on something and doing this half bark, half mini howl thing. I don't even think he looked at me.
