LAKE COUNTY – The Lake County Kennel Club recently held its “Dogtoberfest” event.

Included in the fun event was the “Mutt Strut,” where canines were able to show off their costumes.

The winners were: First place, Whitney Braito and her dog were both dressed as hippies; second place, Liz Callahan's two dogs went as “watch dogs”; third place, Toni Drake's Corgi “Tater” was dressed as a lobster.

As part of Dogtoberfest, the club also promoted Responsible Dog Ownership Day.

Canines and humans alike had a great time, with many fun games for the dogs such as dog races, egg races, musical mats and hot dog dunking as well as a photo booth.

 

The Lake County Kennel Club of Northern California is affiliated with the American Kennel Club.

 

The kennel club also holds dog training classes for basic obedience, rally and agility throughout the year. The next classes will begin in January.
