Canine Showcase 2004 is said to be the event in which the best of the best will be on display.

Here in St. Vincent and the Grenadines, greater emphasis is now being placed on dog breeding, health care, nutrition and the security they offer us. {{more}}

A showcase of dogs is of great importance since it allows us the opportunity to enhance our knowledge concerning the identification of breeds; facilitates the bettering of relationships between dog handlers, breeders and veterinarians; allows handlers to display the outcome of their hard work; permits new dog owners the opportunity to increase their awareness towards how a healthy dog should look; and finally it allows potential dog owners to see what is available on the market for sale.

I encourage all dog handlers, potential handlers, breeders and dog lovers to attend the show and thus have their knowledge enhanced.

Next week’s article will deal with destructive behaviour of puppies.
