I've Gone to the Dogs - And You Can Too!

Come along with me as I visit the International Kennel Club's Dogs Gone Chicago Show at McCormick Place in Chicago. As I traveled the show, I chatted with groomers about some of the unusual things I saw, met notable dogs like Uno (the second most famous Beagle after Snoopy) and I learned about the favorite food of Saturday's (February 21, 2009) Best In Show winner, the Scottish Terrier. I'll also talk to my special guest Kathleen Borgmeyer , a breeder of Greater Swiss Mountain Dogs, to find out about the great advantages of selecting a puppy from a breeder and hear about the breed known as Swissys .
