All breed dog show returns to Jackson
JACKSON, Tenn.—Large, small and everything in between. Dogs of all shapes and sizes take over the Jackson Fairgrounds.
The Jackson Tennessee Dog Fanciers Association partnered with Tupelo Kennel Club to bring back its annual dog show. The four day event started on Thursday and today marks the final day.
This year’s show consisted of hundreds of canines competing in several categories for a chance to win the top prize.
The dogs are first divided into categories according to breed where they compete against one another for the best in breed title. The dogs are then placed among seven different groups. From there they compete against each other for the overall winner of the show.
These owners work very hard to train and prepare their dogs for this competition and the JTDFA is proud to offer a local show where they can compete.
“It’s a wonderful family place to be, to see all sorts of different dogs. You can find out if you want one of these dogs at your house and you can ask most people questions. The bottom line is, the best dog is the one that lives with you,” said Beth Andersen, AKC judge.
The shows have been going on for the past 20 years and are free for the public to attend.
