AKC Eukanuba Dog Show
Orlando Florida
December 13 - 15, 2013
Escaping the
freezing temperatures of New England, Ron and I
headed South in our motorhome and arrived in
Orlando, FL on December 11, 2013, to a much
milder climate. We set up along side 120
additional motorhomes.
Lauren and Chris
arrived a day later and stayed in a hotel,
which was secured by the AKC to cater to the
AKC ACE Award winners. The site of the
Orlando Convention Center was enormous with
private shuttles from the motor home lot to the
convention hall. There were acres of hotels and
parking. This was clearly the Emmy Awards of
dog shows.

The convention hall was
very inviting with convenient maps and kiosks
everywhere you looked, which directed you to
hundreds of locations within the million square
feet of show space. The AKC booth was right in
the middle of the convention space. While Dock
Diving and the Agility were separated from the
main rings, they were well within walking
distance. We all found our own little corner of
space where we set up camp for the next four
days.

The Saturday showing of Chris and
Lauren's Spinone Italiano Drago, earned him an
Award of Excellence in the Breed ring. Saturday
night's festivities included the finals for the
International Dog Show and the presentation of
the ACE Award for Drago with Lauren and Chris.
It was very impressive to see all the ACE Award
