Between September and the mid
die of December approximately $50
licensed outdoor shows will be held in
the United States. Since most dog
shows are held over week ends and
there are about IS week ends in that
period. that means an average of 10
dog shows every Saturday and Sun
day in the next two and a half
months.
OF these shows. few in the
Northern and Eastern States will draw
entries of 1000 or more dogs. East
of the California coast, but still in
the Far West. entries probably will
run about $50 dogs.
In this territory and south
Of here. entries will approximate
about 500 dogs. An average of
500 dogs per show throughout
the country seems like = fair
kueSs.
In other words, somebody or
number of somebodies will pay about
$225,000 in the next few weeks for
the privilege of marching their dogs
around the ring while more or less
competent individual gives each dog
a more or less thorough examination
and hands 8 cents worth of blue, red
or yellow ribbon to the dogs handler
maybe.
OF course, there are other prizes,
tin nit-wit dishes, books on how to
make champions of mediocre dogs,
cigarette boxes with the patent springs
missing, and occasionally some cash.
But that these so-called specials are
not the determining factors in draw
ing entries is demonstrated by the
fact that clubs which offer practically
no specials still have entries, and
those breeds which are offered no
special inducements at many shows
have entries at those shows, toe.
The real basis for the popularity
of the dog show must lie more deeply
imbedded than can be seen at casual
glance. Perhaps it is that we can't
choose our relatives, but our dogs are
peculiarly and especially our own.
Either We picked them ourselves, or
bred them ourselves. In that case,
We reared the mother, watched her

On nearby fronts the hardheads

But for that fisherman who wouldn't

interesting possibilities. Just to prove
