It was day out for pet dogs as they exhibited their skills at the ‘Vizag Dog Show 2019’ organised by Vizag Canine Welfare Association at Alwar Das grounds here on Sunday.

About 750 canines from over 50 breeds including Siberian Husky, German Shepherd, Chihuahua, Pug, Cocker Spaniel, Doberman, Dachshund, Beagle, Bull Mastiff, made their mark at the ramp.

The dog owners were seen waiting for the turn of their trained pets to exhibit their skills in several rounds. Many dog lovers made it to the event to witness other breeds of dogs and took selfies. Such events are an opportunity for pet lovers to come under one roof and learn better techniques to groom their dogs, they said.

HRD Minister Ganta Srinivasa Rao, GITAM Chairman Sri Bharat took part in the programme as the chief guests. Mr. Srinivasa Rao said that every year the dog show was being organised, adding that he would make efforts to set up a place for stray canines.
