No, silly, it's not a Bench Show...... it's a Benched Show! That's where the dogs have to stay at their benched area when not in the show ring so the public can come by and visit and learn more about the breeds. No, there are no park benches. It's just an area where the dogs can keep their crates side by side usually grouped with the same breed, amongst friends who have the same breed. The big Westminster show in New York is a benched show. Here in California we have our benched show in San Francisco with the Golden Gate Kennel Club held at the Cow Palace. No, there won't be any cows there. Yes, Hummer will be there with all of his friends. It will take place on January 24th and 25th. Yes, puppies are allowed to compete but you have to be at least 6 months of age and have received a blue ribbon in a previous show. There will be a $500 cash prize for the dog who gets Best in Show, and a $100 prize for Best Puppy in Show. We get to decorate the bench area and try to win a prize for Best Bench in Show. No, it's not the same as "decorating the kennels" which I know you are good at! Yes, when you are big like Hummer you can go to the Cow Palace. You want to go to the park now? Ok, let's go.

Hi Hummer!
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you're going to the "benched" show again this year. It's going to be so much fun. I don't know about you but last year I counted 1534 pats on my head, 374 scratches under my chin and 297 chest and belly scratchings. Ohhh meeting our fans is so much fun!
