Putnam Dog Show Will be Held at Veterans Memorial Park

Dogs! Dogs! Dogs!

"We expect over 500 dogs at our annual AKC Putnam County Kennel Club All Breed Dog Shows: Conformation, Obedience & Rally Trials," said Chris Krok, Recording Secretary of the Putnam Kennel Club.

There will be two days of shows, Friday and Saturday July 22-23. Each day, the show runs from 8:30 am to 4:00 pm.

Specific information on time and ring designation of a particular breed can be obtained a week before the show on the PKC webpage for the judging program.

The event will be held at the Putnam County Veterans Memorial Park, located at 225 Gipsy Trail Rd, Carmel, NY 10509.

Spend the day watching dogs in conformation competition being judged against the standard for the breed. Obedience and rally trials will test dogs' understanding of commands, as they maneuver hurdles and retrieve articles.

If you are interested in finding out about different breeds, there will be many exhibitors with their dogs, to help answer your questions," Krok said. "Wander around our beautiful show grounds, buy lunch at our food cart and enjoy the day. There is no admission charge and there is plenty of good parking at the site."
