National canine competition to take place in Hanoi

The Vietnam Championship Dog Show 2015 will be organized on December 19 and 20 at 88 Le Van Luong Street, Thanh Xuan District.

This is a chance for Vietnamese dog owners to meet and exchange their experience in rearing local and foreign breeds, as well as see beautiful dogs wear colorful clothes and shoes.

Besides Vietnam’s Phu Quoc ridgeback, other dog breeds to compete in the show are Pomeranian, German Shepherd, Husky, Alaskan Malamute, and Poodle.

The dogs will have to go through several rounds that require them to have good form, bone structure, and ability in order to win “Best In Show,” the highest award.

This year, the event will welcome Eugene Yerusalimsky and Maribel Sy, two representatives from the Fédération Cynologique Internationale (World Canine Organization).

Yerusalimsky has 48 years of experience as a judge at many canine competitions in 34 countries around the world.

He is also founder of the Russian Kennel Club.

The canine competition, which is in its seventh year, will be jointly organized by the Vietnam Kennel Association and Dai Viet Kennel Club in Hanoi.
