Are you going to Reliant?”

Dog show peo­ple in and near Texas instantly know what this ques­tion means. It means, “Are you com­pet­ing in the largest show in the state?”

Offi­cially called the Reliant Park World Series of Dog Shows, this once tele­vised dog show takes place over five days in July at Houston’s Reliant Cen­ter. The show is huge, attract­ing over 40,000 spec­ta­tors, and offers some­thing for any dog per­son; whether they are com­pet­ing for Best in Show, in Agility, Obe­di­ence, Fly­ball, Fris­bee, Musi­cal Freestyle, or just look­ing for some­thing spe­cial for their Best in House Dog.

Even peo­ple not com­pet­ing love to attend for the vast selec­tion of dog prod­ucts avail­able from a long list of ven­dors. It’s a great venue for the pub­lic to learn about var­i­ous breeds at Meet the Breed booths. Res­cue groups par­tic­i­pate with their own booths, edu­cat­ing the pub­lic about breeds, dog needs, and match­ing up poten­tial new own­ers with adopt­able dogs.

Tomor­row is the last day of the show, but don’t think you’ve missed it all. This year includes an event for all types of dogs to try their paw at agility, pure­bred or mixed. It takes place Sat­ur­day and Sun­day. Go here for the full details: AKC My Dog Can Do That!

If you are a lover of dogs, and all things dog, a trip to this show is worth the effort.
