Ooty dog show to begin tomorrow

Udhagamandalam: An Australian Shepherd will be the main attraction at the three-day dog show that will be inaugurated here on Friday.
Organized by The South of India Kennel Club (SIKC), one of the oldest in the country, the 132nd and 133rd editions of the show will be held at the Ooty Government Arts College. As many as 460 dogs of 56 breeds from across the country are expected to be on display.
Besides the Australian Shephard, a Newfoundland and toy poodle will be displayed after a long gap, said SIKC secretary Nagina. “We have received 51 entries for the obedience test. SIKC is taking all efforts to keep the game alive.” “This time, Great Dane and Dachshund Club will also join us to hold the speciality show, combined with SIKC ‘s obedience on Friday, so there is double bonanza for spectators,” Nagina added.
