The Vernon and District Kennel Club put on quite the show at the Centenoka Park Mall in Salmon Arm March 17 with their Meet the Breeds event.
The public was able to come out to the mall, meet several different breeds of show dogs and learn a little about what it takes to train dogs to perform. Of course, their was also plenty of opportunity to pet the wide array of truly adorable dogs on display and many of them were quite eager to get a little bit of affection.
The event took place from 10 a.m. - 2 p.m. and also featured information about service dogs as well as a few displays of nose work, where dogs sniff out a particular scent, and some tricks.
