national dog show
Today NBC will be showing the annual "National Dog Show" which is presented by Purina. This will be hosted by expert commentators David Frei and Host John O'Hurley. The American kennel club has six new breeds to recognise this year which include the bluetick coonhound, the redbone coonhound, the Boykin spaniel, the Cane Corso, the Icelandic sheepdog and the Leonberger.
However, O'Hurley will be appearing with one less dog in his life. "We had some sad news this year," he tells Zap2it. "Skoshi, our Maltese, finally passed away at the age of 20 years and four months. I guess the oldest dog in the world was 21, but he was getting up there. We had to, but it was kind of a sad day." O'Hurley's household does still include a Havenese and a King Charles spaniel. "They're doing great," says O'Hurley. "They sleep with us at night, and now we have a four-year-old boy who's trying to weasel his way into the mix."
So a treat for dog trainers and lovers throughout the United States and will be fascinating viewing for the judges.
