We traveled with Winston to the AKC Invitational dog show this weekend in Orlando. Winston was an ambassador for the Glen of Imaal terrier at our "Meet the Breeds" booth.
The show is a whirlwind of activity and only the top dogs are invited to compete in confirmation, agility and obedience. The show offers many vendors and also has a "Meet the Breeds"area where people can meet different breeds of dogs and learn about the breeds in a hands on experience. This was our first big event like this with Winston and we had a great time! Carly and Elliott had a "Winstonvacation" with Auntie Annette while we were gone.
I am adding a few photos of our activities from the event.

We were also able to meet Kizey and her mom, Lynn. Kizey was the only Glen in agility at the show! Mark took some great photos of their runs in a slideshow. I am attaching the link to the slide show.
One of the things I loved the most about the whole trip was seeing all the dogs in the hotel! Our hotel does not usually allow dogs but they did for this event and it was so cool to see dogs all over the lobby and in the common areas! From the huge mastiffs to the small chinese crested, we saw so many dogs in the hotel.
We want to thank all our friends and helpers, too: Mary, Maggie, Tom, Noreen, Jo, Marty, Laura, Andy, Michael, and Vance. It was a glendicious weekend.
