The extravaganza in Orlando! TOY TALK ETCETERA by Bonnie Guggenheim, TNT Advertising Director & Associate Editor
T he AKC National Championship show in Orlando, Florida has so much to see and do includ- ing many nightly events; Dock Diving, Agility, National Owner Handlers finals plus another awe- some MEET THE BREEDS event that draws thousands of Spectators. With 28 acres of dogs and dog re- lated happenings it is a show every- one should attend at least once. Wear comfortable shoes! Royal Canin did another incredible job promoting the dogs in competi- tion on the red carpet that seemed to make every dog stand out along with the hard working owner and profes- sional handlers. This is the largest AKC dog show with entries from many countries outside the USA to- taling over 5,000 dogs in the beauti- ful Civic Center that is attached to the Hyatt Regency and the Renaissance Center. All with a covered walkway to eliminate weather issues and easy access getting dogs into the building. The best things about the show was meeting so many of you. I appreciate your taking the time to chat with me and make plans for 2020!
Progressive and the Specialties in New York will be the next exciting show so be sure and check out the Aramedia Group table at Progressive or pick up a magazine at one of the hotel lobbies where you can also see lots of the specials advertised in this issue and Show Sight as well. TheNew Yorker will be the site of The York- shire Terrier Specialty which is a do not miss show with fantastic Yorkies from puppies to Specials! Be sure you email candid photos from any of the NewYork shows for publication in the February issue. Have lots of success at the shows around the country including the huge Florida Circuit, Palm Springs and many other shows in January.
