Enter here. I would enter, but my picks are ALWAYS abysmal. Regular readers know I never even come close to picking even the right breed, let alone the right dog. I hope you fare better than I would!
Until next time,
Good day, and good dog.

The Purina Incredible Dog Challenge was at Atlanta’s Centennial Olympic Park on April 2nd. All breeds of dogs were welcome, participating in dog diving, agility, weave-pole races, Jack Russell racing, and freestyle Frisbee events. They even fielded a baseball team. The videos from these Eastern Regional Finals are available on BarkNet. There was no way for me to embed them here -sorry! You’ll have to make due here with the still photos they sent along.
Until next time,
Good day, and good dog!
