We Go to Participate in the Dog Show in Narva

I could not expect it is so interesting to visit a Dog Show! Well, I love dogs for sure, I love cats too but, honestly, I do not know if I would decide to go there myself. What made me do that? Just look at this cute creature - my granddauter's dog Michelle!

Nastya is only 14 years old but she is a professional dog trainer. It is her job in a dog club in Tallinn. She trains dogs for people who cannot do that themselves and need her help. She works with big, serious dogs and dreams to have her own one. She even saves money she earns for training other people's dogs to buy the dog of her dream. I must say that the dogs Nastya trains usually get 1st or minimum 2nd places at dog contests in Estonia in other Baltic States whenever she participates with them.

Today she decided to participate in the Dog Show with her tiny Yorkshire Terrier Michelle. That was the reason for her family to come from Tallinn. I was happy to see her, my son and my daughter-in law again and desided to join them.

Nastya was taking the event very seriously and did not want to have us there - to feel more free.

People were coming and coming with their pets.

We entered the buildind with other future participants. I asked Nastya if she did not mind me to take some pictures around before Michelle started participating and got the permition.

These two dogs were so energetic that nearly dropped their "mommy" in the entrance. She could barely keep her ballance.

I had not known the name these pretty dogs in English and had to Google for it - dachshund they are, now I know!

All the dogs looked a bit excited or at least interested in the new place but not his St. Bernard ! I would say that "Absolute Equanimity" was its name 😁. People could step over it or pass by - there was no reaction from its side.

This Bedlington Terrier had a serious haircut there. Probably, its owner had no time to do that at home.

Many dog owners set up real beauty salons in the lobby with everything needed for that - scissors, combs, brushes, hair clips and even curling irons and hair sprays for their beloved pets.

The participants were waiting patiently.

This participant came from Slovenia as its owner said - specially for this show.

The owner of this pretty dog was so kind that she was trying to make it stand still for me to take photos, but it could not stand still, so these too pictures were the best I managed to take.
