we attend the annual seattle kennel club two thousand and fourteen dog shows away almost moment our first competitor like we have another competition level of competition so it turns out the one that left the moment for the winner of that one but it was a class competition the top one that actually a little down time are two females and male and what is that you're telling the viewer are the people come around about the dog all over town and that they make great family pets just because they normally could have long hair doesn't mean they can't be put in a tram like this and be a great  great house dad they love their families that they live with their very loyal to them and they can be leery of strangers but usually warm up rather quickly and how long have you been training them about twenty years so obviously you're like this when your favorite breed yes it is definitely i have a brown to ten at my house right now and they keep me very busy with all this code that they do and i guess for roughly twenty five minutes each different breeds are shown there but every half hour or so and yes so for like i'm twenty five minutes or so you're talking to that i don't know about the for yes and we talk about what might be better for them when they're if they're looking for a job whether a male or a female would be better whether this is a breed that would fit into their household you know some history about him some people didn't realize they could be in so many different colors or that they could have a haircut so they've been getting a lot of information come out and usually there are three different breeds that are featured thought were the other two breeds that are supposed to be here well they had the same bernhard to earlier and the bernese mountain dog were here about the same time but now we're going to be going on a lunch break so they'll be more coming up later well we have a bridge competition going on we also have this gentleman who we've heard announcing many many times and you are i am dr doug haldeman and i am proud to be the voice of the seattle kennel club now for a number of years how many years because i've been hearing it for as long as i think i've been covering the doc show well you know memory fades at certain points in life but i think i've been doing it at least eight to ten years and always happy to  happy to participate in this great event that brings the dogs and the community together and how much do you know about dogs yourself a fair amount i use to be a reader and exhibitor  dumb vulcan and i guess the good voice of the show chair jane anderson has always been partial to me for whatever reason and i was always glad to participate to california last fall to companion animal or whether they're interested in getting into the world of purebred dog shows or other they're just out her good time in the afternoon was there anything you would like to add or tell the viewers in general simply that the foundation of our sport is responsible breeding and make sure that when you're selecting a pet for a companion animal that you buy from a responsible breeder because you know that person has done their homework studied their pedigrees done their best to minimize any kind of health problems that can occur so be smart dogs that you buy off of craigslist or out of the newspaper very often turn out to be false economy and the other message is support our animal rescue programs seattle purebred dog rescue has an excellent program that can match rescue dogs with families and most of the breed clubs in the area do as well and seattle calico probably has a link on their on their website to they do they do have web site here you very friendly and very accommodating dogs by a dog that's healthy and make proper breeding decisions and an example of that is maybe like with law enforcement yeah we love to work with law enforcement and you know for example german shepherds are predisposed to two different diseases and it's important for the law in first to force my trainers put that much time in after it and do with dogs as they know that later on you know the dogs like they're not going to come down with certain diseases that so you can do the testing when they're just a few weeks so you know when you've got a letter that you're trying to choose from any think you know which one you want you can
