WAVERLY – Hundreds of dogs trotted through the Bremer County Fairgrounds on Saturday for the Waterloo Kennel Club dog show in Waverly.
With over 200 breed classes competing, competitors from across the country were judged in hopes of becoming the top show champions at the annual event.
During the two-day event, each dog and their owner compete against each other to rank among other members of their breed before going up against other breed winners for the title of best of the show.
A dozen judges were on hand to determine how well each animal exemplifies the characteristics of its breed while examining the general health of teeth, gums and coat.
Short gusts of light rain on Saturday presented a challenge for owners, who have gone to great lengths to keep their dogs’ coats dry as they are also judged on their overall appearance.
