Photo Gallery: IKC Dog Show 2009

While most were checking out the last day of the Chicago Auto Show, we decided to head over to the west end of McCormick Place to visit the Swans at the International Kennel Club dog show. Almost 1,000 handlers showed up with over 6,000 canines to compete for "Best in Show" and to put us in complete puppy dog overload. Dogs also competed on two different agility courses, and there were numerous booths set up to purchase plenty of indulgence items for your pampered pooch, recession be damned.

That beagle is SOOOOOOO cute!

But I'm not biased or anything.

do you have any pictures of any square dogs?? (airedales, fox terriers, etc.??)!!??

Sorry, smussy, I know my gallery is herding/working dog heavy, to be honest I got to the show much later than I should have and missed some opportunities for more variety.

Uhm I'm not biased either, but clearly the Dogue de Bordeaux is the best,cutest and noblest of all breeds. And while the beagle is not as common as a Lab and its owners not as generically annoying as lab owners,
still they are a dime a dozen.

But the rare Dogue de Bordeaux is for real dog enthusiast, which is why Prescott has three pictures of it posted, including the lead photo.


Everybody knows that chugs are the cutest dogs. But they'd sweep the competition so they aren't allowed in.

Yes, that's my dog! Awwwww.

And to think that in some countries these dogs are eaten.
