Greeley Kennel Club 2016 All-Breed Shows Presented the August 20th & 21st Specialty dog show.

A specialty dog show is a breed-specific competition, pitting the regions finest dogs and breeders against each other.  Where unlike in other dog shows, the winners of a group will ultimately meet with other breeds to go for the Coveted title of “Best in Show”. This competition is all about the breed itself. Don’t let the frenzy of competition fool you.  While this is going on, the organizations are all raising money to support its individual rescue program and medical assistance program for that breed.  If you love dogs, this is the place to be. Following is a list of just some of the clubs and organizations that were present:
