“We’ve been coming here for years and years. It’s just a fun show. We love the people here you know, there’s some good judges here and it’s a two-day show, not too long. And I have family in Buffalo so not too far away,” said Mary Kobis, a dog handler from Syracuse, NY.
The show starts at 8 a.m. Saturday morning and will feature more than 200 breeds. The puppy competition, which is always fun to watch, will start at 2 p.m.
