PORT ANGELES – Two local dog breeders are back in town after competing in this week’s Westminster Dog Show in New York.
Mariko Saum and Susan Parr, who are members of the Hurricane Ridge Kennel Club, called in to update us on the experience.
Saum’s Japanese Chin named Diznee won Best of Breed, a huge accomplishment, and will now retire from competing in shows. But that doesn’t mean his work is done. Saum says Diznee is very much in demand for his genes.
Susan Parr says her Bernese Mountain Dog Vegas was up against 52 others of the same breed.
Parr says you can meet Vegas this summer at the Hurricane Ridge Kennel Club’s All Breed Show, at the Sequim High School athletic fields, July 27-29.
