SHOW SCENE T PAULA PASCOE 78 his time we’re giving the BIS results for 134 shows held over five weekends between the fourth weekend of July and the middle of August. An additional show saw its groups canceled because of severe weather causing the collapse of the ring tent. The total number of dog entries among the 135 shows listed below is around 119,619, making for an overall average of about 886 dogs entered per show. We are happy to see four shows that drew an entry of more than 2,000 dogs. The weekend of July 21-24 involved 20 shows held in eight states, lead by excellent entries at the four shows in Houston. The Beaumont KC event on the Saturday drew 2,063 entries, and all three of the other shows were also very well supported, for a cluster total of 7,877 dogs entered. There were also good entries in Portland on the weekend. The total number of dog entries on this weekend was 19,253, making for an average of 963 dogs per show, the highest average we find in this report. The last weekend of July, which in a few cases spilled over into the first couple days of August, featured 30 shows in 11 cities. With a total of 26,523 dog entries among these events, the average works out to 884 dogs per show. Honorable mention goes to the weekend events in Greenville, S.C., each of which attracted more than 1,800 dogs.
