I start with a Thank You to the show committee for a job well done, and a Congratulations to all the winners of the 2014 Arapahoe Kennel Club shows!

Our venue, the Arapahoe County fairgrounds in Aurora, surrounded by Colorado’s rolling prairie to the East, and the beautiful Rocky Mountains to our West; and the weather was wonderful too!

There were approximately 1,000 dogs entered for conformation, along with a good entry of dogs in obedience, rally and junior showmanship.

We added a theme to Saturday’s show which was Denim and Diamonds, and it really did bring an upbeat atmosphere along with some fun attire worn by some participants and some judges!

The club also offered the Girl Scout educational program, Going To The Dogs, created by kennel club member, Marlene Groves.  This brought over 100 youth to the show to learn about dogs, the sport of dog showing and to receive their FREE patch (courtesy of the kennel club).

We welcome all back next year, and as always we welcome your comments and suggestions on how to improve our show for our participants!

Congratulations to all the winners!
