Class 95 DOG WALK 2008

Today on the 6th of April I brought my family to the Class 95 Dog Walk 2008.
My god was there filled with sooo many dog lovers... I think there was more than 200 dogs...
The walk started at 9am.... Here are jus a few photos...

The Husky group


Boy was there lots of poos here and there.... But in the end I would say it was fun... Got to see lots of beautifully groomed K9s...


Some of the highlights... My BOYS!! On main stage!!

Just some interesting facts about dogs...

  • In Second World War, Russians trained dogs to run suicide missions between the tracks of German tanks with mines strapped on their backs.

  • In the Middle Ages, Mastiffs used to be dressed in light armor to which was strapped a pot of flaming sulphur and were then made to run into battle against mounted knights.

  • The ancient Chinese royalty loved the Pekingese, carrying them tucked into the sleeves of their royal robes.

  • Dachshunds were bred to fight badgers in their dens.

  • The Poodle haircut was originally meant to improve the dog's swimming abilities as a retriever, with the pom-poms left in place to warm their joints.

  • Greyhounds are no doubt fast. In fact, they can reach speeds of up to 45 miles per hour for short amounts of time.

  • Have you ever seen a dog curled up with his tail covering his nose? They do that to keep the nose warm in cold weather.

  • Many dogs' eyes reflect the color green in the dark, but some also reflect orange or red.

  • Laikia, a dog, was the world's first ever space astronaut. She was sent into space in an artificial earth satellite in 1957 by the Russian government.

  • Theobromine in chocolates, a substance similar to caffeine, can kill the dogs, or at the very least make them seriously ill.

Tired.... Damn... Still not yet do my tutorials.....
