Golden Gate Kennel Club Dog Show

Since I don't have Reyna right now, I decided to go San Francisco today and attend the Golden Gate Kennel Club Dog Show at the Cow Palace. It was a great show, and there were so many Labradors!! I have been around "guide dog" labs for so long, that seeing these labs at the show made me realize how different our labs look from other labs. First off, these labs were stocky and square. They all were some much wider than the guide dogs, and they all looked over weight! The other big difference was their coat. Guide dog labs have a much smoother coat. The labs at the show had coats more like a Chesapeake Bay Retriever. Seeing these labs made me realize how much our guide dog labs have a look of their own. It must be that fabulous breeding program at GDB!

There were many other breeds at the show, and here are some pictures of a few of my favorites.
