The 34{+t}{+h}edition of the All Breeds Championship dog show to be organised by the Malabar Canine Club will be held at the Zamorine’s Higher Secondary School grounds here on March 1. From the smallest breed of dog, Chihuahua, to the tallest variety, Great Dane, will be featured at the show.
Club secretary Arangil Girish Kumar told a press conference here on Thursday that a large variety of dogs from different States, including Haryana, Maharashtra, Punjab and West Bengal, would compete in different categories. “As it was last year, the Borzoi breed, which is also called the Russian wolfhound, will be one of the key attractions of the show,” said Mr. Girish Kumar.
Around 300 dogs of various breeds, including St. Bernard, Siberian Husky, Poodle, Fila Brasileiro, Bull Mastiff, Irish Setter, Afghan Hound, Fox Terrier, Bulldog, Boxer, Caravan Hound, South African Boerboel and Pinscher, would participate in the show.
