Specialty MD 2005

In October 2005 we (me, my husband and my parents) went to parts of the USA and Canada. The main reason for this trip was the Chesapeake Bay Retriever National Specialty Show in Maryland. I wanted to see the Chesapeake Bay Retriever in their homeland so much. So we also visited Virginia (breeder of our JoeJoe) in the state Michigan but we did also some sight-seeing.

Finally in Frederick, MD we saw the great specialty with 399 dogs! Between the 11th and 16th of October 2005 we saw Rally, Obedience, Agility and Show.

On this page we want to show something of what we saw: People, dogs, the show, the Chesapeake Bay Museum and something more.

Enjoy
