A lil' positive PR' (picture heavy)

[Verderben]

Today was the training clubs first K-9 Carnival. There was alot of people that showed up. They had all kinds of vendors there. There were several rescue booths, Dog crafts, Games for the dogs to play, an obstacle course, a vet that was doing low cost rabies vaccines, Microchips, and frontline and advantage. They even had a booth for Canidae dog food and one for Innova Dog food. There was also contest to enter withyour pets, Shortest dog, tallest dog owner look alike ect. At our booth we were doing toenail trims and passing out info on adopting a shelter dog. All the money we made from our booth we donated to a local animal group who was going to use all the money they got from today to help fund a mobile low cost spay/ neuter clinic. I took one of my dogs with me and surprisingly enough alot of people asked questions about the breed and actually listened instead of argueing that they are "all vicious". Me and Samara also participated in "meet the breed" . They had a booth set up and every half hour they had a new breed and people could come meet them and ask questions about the breed in general. Samara was VERY well behaved. She is my most laid back dog that is why I chose to take her. She LOVES everyone and is very good around other dogs. Well here are the pics:

I hope you changed some people's minds postively! Pretty dog. It looked like fun. Did anyone have anything negative to say, dirty looks or comments?

[Verderben]

nope not one person said anything negative to me about the breed. Although most of the people there were dog people so most had common sense anyways lol. Alot of people did ask questions about the breed though , but nothing negative.
