The annual Reliant World Series of Dog Shows is the place to go for purebred, expertly trained canines fetching, running and jumping. Come see why these animals are better-nourished, more frequently pampered and given better health care than the average American worker. The event includes training seminars, canine-themed art and photography galleries and vendors selling all kinds of pet supplies. Entrants in categories such as toy, terrier and herding dog will compete for a shining first-place medal ย or, as the dogs consider it, something that isn’t food.
