WOW! Did we ever have a GREAT time at The Henrico Humane Society’s 11th Annual Pet Expo this past Saturday! We almost came home with a new adopted puppy, but someone beat us to it. (whew!)

It was a fantastic event and we have the pictures to prove it!

Congratulations to Coretta Lankford, who won our drawing for a $25 PetSmart gift certificate! Thanks to all the pet lovers who stopped by our booth!

Westminster Dog Show “Best In Show” goes to a mutt!

by richmonddogs on February 17, 2010 · 0 comments

Just once, I’d like to see the illustrious Westminster Dog Show “Best In Show” crown go to a Mutt.

You know, a “real dog”—one that is so well-mixed you can’t even guess at it’s origins.

Why? Why not? Who’s to say a purebred is any better than a mixed-breed dog? It’s actually been my experience that the reverse is true.

Now, I mean no disrespect to Sadie, the Scottish Terrier, who actually won “Best in Show” at the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show this week. Nor do I doubt that any of the fine upstanding pure-breeds in competition were not deserving of their honored titles.

I’d just like to see some mutts in the mix. Who’s with me?
